ParallelStateDefinition

The parallel state is an alternative to the action state when a workflow can perform multiple threads of logic simultaneously. The values in return is an array of the returns of the individual actions. In mode or the first response is set in the array and the other actions are set to null.

Parameter	Description	Type	Required
`type`	Identifies which kind of StateDefinition is being used. In this case it must be set to `parallel`.	string	yes
`id`	An identifier unique within the workflow to this one state.	string	yes
`log`	If defined, the workflow will generate a log when it commences this state. See StateLogging.	Structured JQ	no
`metadata`	If defined, updates the instance's metadata. See InstanceMetadata.	Structured JQ	no
`transform`	If defined, modifies the instance's data upon completing the state logic. See StateTransforms.	Structured JQ	no
`transition`	Identifies which state to transition to next, referring to the next state's unique `id`. If undefined, this state terminates the workflow.	string	no
`catch`	Defines behaviour for handling of catchable errors.	[]ErrorCatchDefinition	no
`timeout`	ISO8601 duration string to set a non-default timeout.	string	no
`mode`	If defined, must be either `and` or `or`. The default is `and`. This setting determines whether the state is considered successfully completed only if all threads have returned without error (`and`) or as soon as any single thread returns without error (`or`).	string	no
`actions`	Defines the action to perform.	[]ActionDefinition	yes
