- Source: [`aws-stepfunctions/lib/states/state.ts`](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/v2.275.0/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions/lib/states/state.ts#L103)
- Type last changed: v2.178.0 · 6 Feb 2025

## Example

```ts
// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import { aws_stepfunctions as stepfunctions } from 'aws-cdk-lib';

declare const outputs: any;
const jsonataCommonOptions: stepfunctions.JsonataCommonOptions = {
  outputs: outputs,
};
```

## Properties

- `outputs`: any — Used to specify and transform output from the state.

  **Default:** $states.result or $states.errorOutput

  When specified, the value overrides the state output default.
  The output field accepts any JSON value (object, array, string, number, boolean, null).
  Any string value, including those inside objects or arrays,
  will be evaluated as JSONata if surrounded by {% %} characters.
  Output also accepts a JSONata expression directly.
