Hey folks, quick question: How can I convert an actual string into an `Output&lt;string&gt;`? I have a custom component that returns a string output: in some cases it will return an output from a child resource, but in some cases the value will be known immediately/synchronously and I want to return it in the same output property. What’s the simplest syntax to return such a string as output?

Never mind, I found it! It was not obvious in the doc, but by inspecting the code I found `Output.create(…)`. Thanks anyway! :+1:

I believe `pulumi.interpolate`will also result in an Output&lt;string&gt;.

`pulumi.output` is another option: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/inputs-outputs/#convert-input-to-output-through-interpolation>

`pulumi.output` would be my preferred choice.

`const o: pulumi.Input&lt;string&gt; = pulumi.output(i);`
