How to specify Strongloop model schema?

enter image description here

I try override find api of strongloop rest endpoint. I want to return an array of objects. But how do I specify the schema for the object? As you can see from the picture above, the model schema is empty.

Below is the code of my company model remoteMethod: 

    Company.remoteMethod(
        'find',
        {
            accepts: {arg: 'msg', type: 'string'},
            returns: {type: 'array', root: true},
            http: {path: '/', verb:'get'}
        }
    )

If I understand you right, your'e trying to show at this section the returned model as follows: 

[
  {
    "companyProperty1": "companyProperty1Type",
    "companyProperty2": "companyProperty2Type",
    .
    .
    "companyPropertyN": "companyPropertyNType",
  }
]

In order to achieve this kind of return type representation, you need to define your return type in remoteMethod options to be an array of the desired model.

Here is your code, with the required edit, using modelName propery of Model base class:

Company.remoteMethod(
    'find',
    {
        accepts: {arg: 'msg', type: 'string'},
        returns: {type: [Company.modelName], root: true},
        http: {path: '/', verb:'get'}
    }
)
