Models properties can be declared in .yml files in your models/ directory (as defined by the model-paths config).

You can name these files whatever_you_want.yml, and nest them arbitrarily deeply in subfolders within the models/ directory.

models/<filename>.yml

version: 2

models:
  - name: <model name>
    meta:
      jinjat:
        schema:
          x-pk: customer_id
    columns:
      - name: <column_name> # required
        meta:
          jinjat:
            schema:
      - name: ... # declare properties of additional columns

The JSON Schema defined for both columns and models will be part of the OpenAPI schema.
