Setting up App Config values with Bicep

There are often times where we need to setup a master configuration instance for the config values that might be referenced within pipelines. In such situations we can setup the initial configs such as environment name initially. 

First of all we will initialise a set of key value names. 

param keyValueNames array = [

  'appName$dev'

  'environmentType$dev'

  'Acr_Name$dev'

  'region$dev-${region}'

]

Text after $ sign reference to the label name of the config.

Next we can setup values as an array with same length.

var keyValueValues = [

  appName

  dev_Environment

  dev_ACRName

  region

]

Next we can do the setup of the App Configuration instance. 

resource configStore 'Microsoft.AppConfiguration/configurationStores@2022-05-01' = {

  name: configStoreName

  location: region

  tags:tags

  sku: {

    name: 'standard'

  }

}

Lastly we can iterate through the key value names and post values.

resource configStoreKeyValue

'Microsoft.AppConfiguration/configurationStores/keyValues@2022-05-01'

= [for (item, i) in keyValueNames: {

  parent: configStore

  name: item

  properties: {

    value: keyValueValues[i]

    contentType: contentType

    tags: tags

  }

}]
