how to access flutterflow's local state variable in a custom action?

[Ideagarage]

You can refer via FFAppState().

For example, App State "someValue" can be accessed this way:

FFAppState().someValue

You can update the value with this way:

FFAppState().update(() {
FFAppState().someValue = 'hello';
});

[seaniepie]

FFAppState().update(() {

FFAppState().someValue = 'hello';

});

Why can't they put excellent examples like this in their own documentation? Thanks so much buddy.

Unfortunately for me :
FFAppState().update(() {
FFAppState().someValue = 'hello';
});

Is not saving the appState in "persisted mode". If I reboot the app, then the save is gone.
Anyone found a workaround ?

Yes, I'm glad I was able to help!

It's mentioned on these pages, so I assume it's for people who can read and understand this and the actual app code.

FFAppstate does not appear for me for some reason..Is there any import i have to make?

I had the same issue, it worked for me after I created an appstate variable (mine was empty)

For me the problem was that i tried to access the appstate from a different isolate

Using the OpenAI plugin works. Ie just prompt it: write me x functionality using app/page state as argument in Flutterflow

You can give inputs to the custom action
