* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.LocalizationRuntimeModule

```csharp
public T GetProvider<T>() where T : class, IAssetProvider
```

### Returns

| Type | Description                                                  |
| ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |

### Remarks

Use this to reach a specific provider, for example to register a direct reference on the chain's [ReferencedAssetProvider](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/providers/referencedassetprovider.md).

Find a provider of a specific type in the chain.

### Examples

```csharp
using Unity.Localization.Providers;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Unity.Localization.Samples
{
    public class AssetProviderGetProviderExample
    {
        public void Run()
        {
            var chain = new AssetProvider();
            chain.AddProvider(new ReferencedAssetProvider());

            var referenced = chain.GetProvider<ReferencedAssetProvider>();

            Debug.Log(referenced != null);   // True
        }
    }
}
```
