Using CDK/Cfn to add multiple iot policies to a principal

Question

Hi, is there an "array" way to add multiple iot policies to a principal? At the moment, I'm doing the following...

const policyPrincipalAttachment1 = new iot.CfnPolicyPrincipalAttachment(this, "policy principal attachment 1", {
      policyName: "iot-policy-1",
      principal: iotCertificate.attrArn,
    });

const policyPrincipalAttachment2 = new iot.CfnPolicyPrincipalAttachment(this, "policy principal attachment 2", {
      policyName: "iot-policy-1",
      principal: iotCertificate.attrArn,
    });

Thanks
Gary

Hi gary,

There is no construct that accept an array of policies to attach to a principal, but, the beauty of CDK is that is programmatic, so that you can loop as

```
for (var i = 1, i<= N; i++) {
    new iot.CfnPolicyPrincipalAttachment(this, "policy principal attachment " + i, {
      policyName: "iot-policy-" + i,
      principal: iotCertificate.attrArn,
   });
}
```

Hope it helps ;)
