Auto class generator for Bicep files to enable easy composition

BicepFlex

What is it?

A C# code generation layer over Bicep to allow you to orchestrate templates using .Net 6.

Provides simple type annotation using //@bicepflextype BicepTestTypes.SampleComplexObject next to object and array parameters and outputs.

Sample

param name string
param complex object //@bicepflextype BicepTestTypes.SampleComplexObject

@allowed([
  'rain'
  'hail'
])
param weatherType string

var foo = complex
var too = foo.Property1

module funkyFoo './test-module.bicep' = {
  name: 'funkyfoo'
  params: {
    bar: too
  }
}

output nameout string = name

output strongtype object = { //@bicepflextype BicepTestTypes.SampleComplexObjectOutput
  id: name
  complexProperty1: complex.Property1
  complexProperty2: complex.Property2
  weather: weatherType
}
