Right now the bicep cli can be used the build json templates from the bicep template. Can it be enhanced to build the parameters file for a template

We do plan to do this, but in the meantime I'd recommend the Bicep powershell module from @StefanIvemo. It already has the ability to generate a parameters file, but atm it requires building the bicep code as well. Since PS and CLI natively read .bicep files, the latter is not necessary. The good news is stefan is already planning to do this per the referenced issue, so hopefully soon we will have a clean way to do this.

Going to close this and track with #512 in the meantime.

Just released version 1.4.6 of the Bicep PowerShell module. We do now support generating parameter files without transpiling the Bicep file to ARM.

# Generate a parameter file with all parameters from the bicep file
New-BicepParameterFile -Path .\main.bicep -Parameters All
or
# Generate a parameter file with required parameters from the bicep file only
New-BicepParameterFile -Path .\main.bicep -Parameters Required

This will generate an ARM template parameter file that can be used for deployment:

az deployment sub create -f main.bicep -p main.parameters.json -l eastus -c

Do we have the same using az cli?
