Separating definitions into their own file

custom:
  openapi: ${file(serverless.openapi.yml):openapi}

Sample Definitions

This plugin parses your serverless.yml file and extracts info and components defintions from custom.openapi, paths and HTTP methods from functions.events.http, and path definitions functions.events.http.openapi. It maintains the OpenAPI specification structure.
