How are you identifying the dependencies between objects before deploying?

How do you know which objects are dependent on one another? I looked into function Deploy-AdfObject and see you are resolving dependencies but how are you doing it?

Dependencies are stored in DependsOn property of each object, which is fulfilling in Import-AdfObjects cmdlet, line 29-32:

        $m = [regex]::matches($txt,'"referenceName":\s*?"(?<r>.+?)",[\n\r\s]+"type":\s*?"(?<t>.+?)"')
        $m | ForEach-Object {
            $o.AddDependant( $_.Groups['r'].Value, $_.Groups['t'].Value ) | Out-Null
        }

How do you store the dependencies between two objects? Where do you store the dependencies? Could you explain with an example: Lets say, a dataset (ds_azuresql_table1) or linked service (ls_azure_sql) should be deployed first and pipeline (pl_copydata) in sequence.

@NowinskiK , could you reply on the follow up question pls?

@prdpsvs I already answered above.
If you run function Import-AdfFromFolder - it will return an instance (object) of Adf class that contains all objects in arrays plus some other properties. Everything is there.

Thank you, I missed what you were saying the first time. You are looking for referenceName property in datasets, pipelines and triggers json files and updating DependsOn in each object in $adf.
