Azure-Bicep: How to add blob container to Storage account - azure

Question

So, I have a StorageAccount.bicep
//StorageAccount.bicep
param storageAccountSku string = 'Standard_LRS'
param storageAccountName string
param storageAccountType string = 'StorageV2'
resource storageAccount 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts#2021-08-01' = {
name: storageAccountName
location: location
tags: tags
sku: {
name: storageAccountSku
}
kind: storageAccountType
}
output name string = storageAccount.name
In the main.bicep, it calls StorageAccount.bicep to create container.
module storage_account_1 'modules/storageAccount.bicep' = {
name: 'storage_account1'
scope: rg
params: {
storageAccountSku: 'Standard_LRS'
storageAccountType: 'StorageV2'
storageAccountName: 'storage_account1"
}
}
2nd storage account
var storageName = toLower('${envType}${rgNameUid}${toLower(app)}')
module storage_account_2 'modules/storageAccount.bicep' = {
name: 'storage_account2'
scope: rg
params: {
storageAccountSku: 'Standard_LRS'
storageAccountType: 'StorageV2'
storageAccountName: storageName
}
}
Then I have another helper.bicep that can set or override any settings.
//helper.bicep
resource my_storage 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts#2022-05-01' existing = {
name: storageName
}
My question is how to add blob container to the 2nd storage account?
I tried to create blobContainer.bicep and then call it from main.bicep.
param storageAccountName string
param storageAccount object
#description('Name of the blob container to deploy.')
param blobContainerNames array
var cleanedContainerNames = [for x in blobContainerNames: toLower(x)]
resource blobContainers 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers#2022-05-01' = [for containerName in cleanedContainerNames: {
name: '${storageAccountName}/default/${containerName}'
dependsOn: [
storageAccount
]
properties: {
publicAccess: 'None'
}
}]
output name string = blobContainers.name
But it errors in following line, can I declarer param as module to pass in?
dependsOn: [
storageAccount
]
Update:
Can I do something like this?
//helper.bicep
resource my_storage 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts#2022-05-01' existing = {
name: storageName
}
//Add the following lines
resource storagecontainer 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers#2022-05-01' = {
name: '${storageName}/default/mycontainer'
dependsOn: [
my_storage
]
}

You could always add the containers creation inside the storage module:
// StorageAccount.bicep
param storageAccountName string
param location string = resourceGroup().location
param tags object = {}
param storageAccountSku string = 'Standard_LRS'
param storageAccountType string = 'StorageV2'
param containerNames array = []
// Create storage
resource storageAccount 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts#2021-08-01' = {
name: storageAccountName
location: location
tags: tags
sku: {
name: storageAccountSku
}
kind: storageAccountType
}
resource blobService 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices#2021-06-01' = {
name: '${storageAccount.name}/default'
}
// Create containers if specified
resource containers 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers#2021-06-01' = [for containerName in containerNames: {
parent: blobService
name: !empty(containerNames) ? '${toLower(containerName)}' : 'placeholder'
properties: {
publicAccess: 'None'
metadata: {}
}
}]
output name string = storageAccount.name
