dependsOn for module?

[skmkzyk]

Is it possible to set dependsOn property to module?

What I'm trying is create two ExpressRoute circuit <-> Gateway connections simultaneously.
While first connection creation, second connection creation should be waited.
I'm creating my own module for creating connection resource, so I want explicit dependsOn property to delay second connection deployment.

Yes you can either have an explicit depends on OR if you reference the other module anywhere in a property value, it will add the depends on by default.

This shows where a reference to KV.name is used, so this would depend on that resource or module implicitly.

then you just use the normal depends on syntax to explicitly define the same.

This WAF module depends on the Publicip module

  dependsOn: [
    PublicIP
  ]
