How do i pass parameters from first cdk stack's output to another cdk stack's input, when deploying using jenkins pipeline?

Question

I have one bitbucket repository, in that, I have 4 CDK stacks in a separate folder. Now I want to create a Jenkins pipeline, Like in the first stage the first stack has been built and deployed,

now I want to use the first stack outputs as second stack's inputs and the same for the third and fouth folders.

To use another stack's output, use the Fn.importValue function.

Like this:

imported_output = cdk.Fn.import_value("OUTPUT_NAME")

A good alternative would be to deploy all of your stacks together in a single CDK app and just pass the object references between your stacks.

CDK will figure out the necessary outputs/imports under the hood, and will deploy the stacks in the correct order automatically.

Here's an example from the docs:

prod = cdk.Environment(account="123456789012", region="us-east-1")

stack1 = StackThatProvidesABucket(app, "Stack1", env=prod)

# stack2 will take a property "bucket"
stack2 = StackThatExpectsABucket(app, "Stack2", bucket=stack1.bucket, env=prod)
