Generate Documentation for Azure Bicep Modules with GitHub Copilot

Bicep modules provide this awesome feature to be able to create schema for your Bicep modules via User-defined data types. When you reference Bicep module in bicep template or bicep parameters file you get nice intellisense in VSC to understand the structure of the parameters, whether they are required or not and additional information. This is the same experience when you start to define a resource. I was one of the first requestors and adopters of the feature and I heavily use it every day. Although the feature provides great experience within VSC there is still a need to document that schema in some other place just like it is done for Azure resource. This trivial task is not so easy to do but today I will show you how easy it is by using GitHub Copilot.

Passing Resources between Azure Bicep modules

Bicep modules is core feature for structuring your code and achieving certain functionality when deploying Azure resources. When using modules quite often you will have to pass pass resource information like resource ID in order to be used within the module. Another use case is when an end user have to provide information for existing resource so that resource can be used for the deployment of another resource. This blog post will focus on the different methods for passing resources between modules or from bicep parameters file to module.

Testing Data Processing Azure Bicep Functions Easily

These days Azure Bicep has a lot of more functions that can be used for processing data. Most notably I am referring to the lambda Azure Bicep functions. Often times I use two or more of these functions all together in Bicep templates. When using several of these functions chained one after another it is easier to get lost how data will be processed. Also to test all the different input that will be passed to those functions will results in doing several different deployments. That is time consuming process as deployments takes time to run not to mention that along I have several other resources also deployed via those templates. Thankfully just to test if the data is processed according to how I have imagine it there is easier method by using Bicep parameters files.
