import { aws_stepfunctions as stepfunctions } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
const stateBaseProps: stepfunctions.StateBaseProps = {
  comment: 'comment',
  queryLanguage: stepfunctions.QueryLanguage.JSON_PATH,
  stateName: 'stateName',
};
```

## Properties

- `comment`: string — A comment describing this state.

  **Default:** No comment

- `queryLanguage`: [QueryLanguage](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_stepfunctions.QueryLanguage.html) = JSONPath — The name of the query language used by the state.

  If the state does not contain a `queryLanguage` field,
  then it will use the query language specified in the top-level `queryLanguage` field.

  **Default:** The construct ID will be used as state name
