Openapispex does not send data in POST body

I only found a workaround: instead of using parameters in the Operation map, I created a whole new schema(?) and use that in the requestBody field of the Operation map. So I have this new module:

defmodule MerlinWeb.LoginParameter do
require OpenApiSpex

  OpenApiSpex.schema(%{
    title: "LoginParameter",
    description: "Input for login",
    type: :object,
    properties: %{
      username: %OpenApiSpex.Schema{type: :string, description: "name of the user"},
      some_number: %OpenApiSpex.Schema{type: :integer, description: "some number"}
    },
    required: [:username, :some_number],
    example: %{
        "username" => "some user",
        "some_number" => "12"
    }
  })
end

and in the above example instead of the parameters: part I have this:

      parameters: [],
      requestBody: Operation.request_body("Login params description", "application/json",
          MerlinWeb.LoginParameter,
          required: true),

It means that on the Swagger UI I don’t have a separate text field for all parameters anymore (username, number in the above examples), but one single text area for the JSON input. Doesn’t look that good, but works.
