Sharing/Importing User Defined Types a crossed files?

[hotfix-houdini]

I would like to re-use the same User Defined Type a crossed several different bicep modules. More specifically, I would like to have a user-defined-type as a param to Module A, which in turn just passes it to Module B.

Having a user-defined-type as a param for Module B works fine, but I'm not sure how to "bubble" that type up without copy-pasting the same type in calling modules that also want it as a parameter. The import keyword seems to only support extensibility providers and not specific files in the solution. Making an extensibility provider would be absolute overkill to just re-use some types.

Is there a way to define user defined types in a file and import that into many different files?

Compile-time imports were included as an experimental feature in Bicep 0.21.1. You will need to enable the feature via bicepconfig.json (instructions are in the linked PR), and once that's done, you can use syntax like import {myType} from 'otherTemplate.bicep'

In case someone else finds this answer before the Microsoft Learn documentation, this is now supported without the need to enable experimental features.
