Any way to read a Provider from outside?

Question

I have a List<Provider> providers and I would like to, at some point, do:

for(var p in providers){
  if(p.value is Whatever) p.doWhatever();
}

But it seems this is not possible? I can not see any way to read the providers from the outside.

Answer 1

Looks like I can just do this:

class WhateverValueProvider<T extends Whatever> extends Provider {
  WhateverValueProvider(this.value, {Key? key}) : super.value(key: key, value: value);
  final T value;
}

Then use this in place of Provider, and access .value, knowing it is Whatever. Seems odd that provider doesn't just expose a .value getter.
