Basic Types

Farmer often uses references to link resouces, when this is not possible, Farmer uses certain types to define links.

ResourceName

A ResourceName represents a name of an ARM resource.

ResourceName "myapp"

ResourceId

A ResourceId identifies an ARM resource.

This is used when you want to link unmanaged resources to a deployment or have multiple deployment parts.

A ResourceId can be created with the resourceId member of a ResourceType:

let subnet = Arm.Network.virtualNetworks.resourceId(ResourceName "")

or directly as a ResourceId:

let mySubnet = {
    Type = Arm.Network.subnets
    Name = ResourceName "my-vnet"
    ResourceGroup = Some("myResourceGroup")
    Subscription = None
    Segments = [ResourceName "mySubnet"]
}

These resources can be used i.e. in referencing a web app { } to a subnet.

let webApp = webApp {
    name "myWebApp"
    service_plan_name "myServicePlan"
    sku WebApp.Sku.B1
    link_to_unmanaged_vnet mySubnet
}
