Overview

Exposures are defined in .yml files in your models directory (as defined by the source-paths config), nested under an exposures: key. You may define exposures in YAML files that also define define sources or models.

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