How to use a provider inside a custom hook?

[yom-ko]

In hooks_riverpod ^0.14.0+5, if I needed to access a provider inside a custom hook it was straightforward, like:

useOpenAd() {
...
final backToHomeCount = useProvider(
      settingsProvider.select((settings) => settings.backToHomeCount));
...
}

But with the latest version 1.0.0, I can't see a simple solution. According to the docs, the ref object can only be obtained in another provider, in all kinds of widgets, or in the HookConsumer. Am I missing something? Is it possible to obtain ref (or otherwise access a provider ) inside a custom hook?
TIA!

You could pass a WidgetRef obtained from a ConsumerWidget/Consumer as a parameter to your custom hook, or straight up pass the resolved value.

Thanks, I thought about passing the ref as a hook's parameter but then I saw this warning in the docs:

When a widget obtains a "ref", this "ref" should not be passed around. It should be used only by the widget that created this object.

In this case, will the returned value be updated normally whenever the provider state changes? No gotchas here?

Yes, that should be fine.
Passing the ref to hooks is kind of an exception to this warning
