riverpod_annotation exports Ref type.

[koji-1009]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice if riverpod_annotation would export the Ref for riverpod 2.6.0 support.

current (riverpod_annotaion v2.6.0)

import 'package:riverpod/riverpod.dart'; // ← Required for import of Ref
import 'package:riverpod_annotation/riverpod_annotation.dart';

@riverpod
Model foo(Ref ref) => ..

want

import 'package:riverpod_annotation/riverpod_annotation.dart';

@riverpod
Model foo(Ref ref) => ..

Describe the solution you'd like Add the Ref type to the export list in riverpod_annotation/riverpod_annotatino.dart.

Describe alternatives you've considered none.

It isn't exported on purpose.

The annotation package only exports what the generated code uses. You're not meant to import riverpod_annotation as a replacement to Riverpod.

OK, so riverpod_generator is a mechanism to generate, not to provide some kind of meta-programming.

I agree with your design. Thanks for the review.
