Create an ARM deployment and pass in a parameter of type 'object'

The file definition.json contains a JSON object, which is passed as-is into the ARM deployment:

resourceGroup="foo"
logicAppName="someapp"

deploymentResult="$( az group deployment create \
  --resource-group "${resourceGroup}" \
  --mode Incremental \
  --template-file ./azuredeploy-minimal.json \
  --parameters logicAppName="${logicAppName}" \
  --parameters logicAppDefinition="@./definition.json" 
  )"

The template has a corresponding type=object parameter:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "logicAppName": { "type": "string", "defaultValue": "..." },
    "logicAppDefinition": { "type": "object" }
  },
  ...
}
