CfnRefElement L1 construct
Base class for referenceable CloudFormation constructs which are not Resources.
These constructs are things like Conditions and Parameters, can be referenced by taking the .ref attribute.
Resource constructs do not inherit from CfnRefElement because they have their own, more specific types returned from the .ref attribute. Also, some resources aren't referenceable at all (such as BucketPolicies or GatewayAttachments).

Properties
creationStackstring[]creation_stacktyping.List[str]creationStackList<String>CreationStackstring[]CreationStack*[]*stringrequired#The logical ID of the element is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.
To override this value, use overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId).
If, by any chance, the intrinsic reference of a resource is not a string, you could coerce it to an IResolvable through Lazy.any({ produce: resource.ref }).

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.
Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.
Parameters
xxxxX— Any object.
Returns: true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.
