# Interface: ISurfaceFromState

> A structure holding settings to create a surface from a state file.

## Example

``` js
const productDefinition = {
   surfaces: [{
       // Initialize a surface through a state file.
       stateId: "ed867273-5679-4927-b718-a53e92d6802c",
       // Select a surface index in the state file.
       surface: 2,
       // Apply a background mockup to the surface.
       mockup: {
           down: "tshirt"
       },
       // Specify the design location relative to the mockup.
       location: { x: 120, y: 0 }
   }]
};
```

## Properties

### name?

> `optional` **name?**: `string`

A name of a surface (a page) in the product.

#### Remarks

In multipage products, it allows you to use a name mask for product surfaces. If this string contains the `{0}` placeholder, it will be replaced with a page number, starting from `1`. For example, `name: "Page {0}"` specifies the following page captions in the Bottom toolbar: `Page 1`, `Page 2`, and so on.
