Azure front door custom domain bicep

Question

Here is my set up:

I have a bicep repository that has bicep templates which are called as modules in the applications which need them.

My front door (classic) template from bicep repo:

param frontDoorName string
param backEndAddress string
param frontEndEndPointName string
param backEndPoolName string

var loadBalancingSettingsName = ''
var healthProbeSettingsName = ''
var routingRuleName = ''

resource myFrontDoorResource 'Microsoft.Network/frontDoors@2021-06-01' = {
  name: frontDoorName
  location: 'global'
  properties: {
    enabledState: 'Enabled'

    frontendEndpoints: [
      {
        name: frontEndEndPointName
        properties: {
          hostName: '${frontDoorName}.azurefd.net'
          sessionAffinityEnabledState: 'Disabled'
        }
      }
    ]

    loadBalancingSettings: [
      {
        name: loadBalancingSettingsName
        properties: {
          sampleSize: 4
          successfulSamplesRequired: 2
        }
      }
    ]

    healthProbeSettings: [
      {
        name: healthProbeSettingsName
        properties: {
          path: '/'
          protocol: 'Http'
          intervalInSeconds: 120
        }
      }
    ]

    backendPools: [
      {
        name: backEndPoolName
        properties: {
          backends: [
            {
              address: backEndAddress
              backendHostHeader: backEndAddress
              httpPort: 80
              httpsPort: 443
              weight: 100
              priority: 1
              enabledState: 'Enabled'
            }
          ]
          loadBalancingSettings: {
            id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/loadBalancingSettings', frontDoorName, loadBalancingSettingsName)
          }
          healthProbeSettings: {
            id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/healthProbeSettings', frontDoorName, healthProbeSettingsName)
          }
        }
      }
    ]

    routingRules: [
      {
        name: routingRuleName
        properties: {
          frontendEndpoints: [
            {
              id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/frontEndEndpoints', frontDoorName, frontEndEndPointName)
            }
          ]
          acceptedProtocols: [
            'Http'
            'Https'
          ]
          patternsToMatch: [
            '/*'
          ]
          routeConfiguration: {
            '@odata.type': '#Microsoft.Azure.FrontDoor.Models.FrontdoorForwardingConfiguration'
            forwardingProtocol: 'MatchRequest'
            backendPool: {
              id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/backEndPools', frontDoorName, backEndPoolName)
            }
          }
          enabledState: 'Enabled'
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Module called from application

module myFrontDoorModule 'azurefrontdoor.bicep' = {
 name: ''
 params: {
   frontDoorName: ''
   backEndAddress: ''
   frontEndEndpPintName: ''
   backEndPoolName: ''
 }
}

Now I have added one custom domain and my routing rule is updated to use the custom domain value in Frontends/domains field. Assuming I will have more custom domains, backend pools, routing rules I need help in improving it to accept array of such input params to make this dynamic in nature for other applications to use. Can someone please suggest/help me how to go about improving the above shared set up?

To create two or more custom domains or routing rules or any resource properties, you need to initialize an array of objects, declare it in module bicep file, then traverse it using for loop in the bicep file.

I modified your code as below.

param frontdoorprefix string ='jah'
param backEndAddress string = 'address1'
param frontEndEndPointName string = 'endpointnew'
param backEndPoolName string = 'backendpool1'
param customDomain array
param backendPools array
param routingRules array
var loadBalancingSettingsName = 'newlbj'
var healthProbeSettingsName = 'probesj'
var routingRuleName = 'newruleja'
var frontDoorName = '${frontdoorprefix}${uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)}'

resource myFrontDoorResource 'Microsoft.Network/frontDoors@2021-06-01' =  {
  name: frontDoorName
  location: 'global'
  properties: {
    enabledState: 'Enabled'

    frontendEndpoints: [
      for frontendEndpoint in customDomains : {
        name: '{frontEndEndPoint}1'
        properties: {
          hostName: '${frontendEndpoint}.azurefd.net'
          sessionAffinityEnabledState: 'Disabled'
        }
      }
    ]

    loadBalancingSettings: [
      {
        name: loadBalancingSettingsName
        properties: {
          sampleSize: 4
          successfulSamplesRequired: 2
        }
      }
    ]

    healthProbeSettings: [
      {
        name: healthProbeSettingsName
        properties: {
          path: '/'
          protocol: 'Http'
          intervalInSeconds: 120
        }
      }
    ]

    backendPools: [
      for backendPool in backendPools : {
        name: backendPool.name
        properties: {
          backends: [
            {
              address: backEndAddress
              backendHostHeader: backEndAddress
              httpPort: 80
              httpsPort: 443
              weight: 100
              priority: 1
              enabledState: 'Enabled'
            }
          ]
          loadBalancingSettings: {
            id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/loadBalancingSettings', frontDoorName, loadBalancingSettingsName)
          }
          healthProbeSettings: {
            id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/healthProbeSettings', frontDoorName, healthProbeSettingsName)
          }
        }
      }
    ]

    routingRules: [
      {
        name: routingRuleName
        properties: {
          frontendEndpoints: [
            {
              id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/frontEndEndpoints', frontDoorName, frontEndEndPointName)
            }
          ]
          acceptedProtocols: [
            'Http'
            'Https'
          ]
          patternsToMatch: [
            '/*'
          ]
          routeConfiguration: {
            '@odata.type': '#Microsoft.Azure.FrontDoor.Models.FrontdoorForwardingConfiguration'
            forwardingProtocol: 'MatchRequest'
            backendPool: {
              id: resourceId('Microsoft.Network/frontDoors/backEndPools', frontDoorName, backEndPoolName)
            }
          }
          enabledState: 'Enabled'
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

module.bicep:

module myFrontDoorModule 'azurefrontdoor.bicep' = {
 name: 'xxxxx'
params: {
    customDomain: [
      {
        name: 'Domain1'
        hostName: 'xxxx.com'
      },
      {
        name: 'Domain2'
        hostName: 'xxxx.com'
      }
    ]
  }
}
        //Add other required array's same as above format.

Output:
