# Add parameters to your Bicep file

- First, create a parameter named location:

```bicep
param location string = resourceGroup().location
```

- Next, create a parameter named 'appPlanName':

```bicep
param appPlanName string = '${uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)}plan'
```

These parameters will be used to fill in attributes in your resources.

<!--- See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/69757 for details of how to pass arguments -->
