Building an array of dictionary items in YAML?

Basically trying to something in yaml that could be done using this json:

{
models:
 [
  { 
    model: "a"
    type: "x"
    #bunch of properties...
  },
  {
    model: "b"
    type: "y"
    #bunch of properties...
  }
 ]
}

So far this is what I have, it does not work because I am repeating my model key but what can be a proper way to do that by keeping that model key word? 

models:
 model:
  type: "x"
  #bunch of properties...
 model:
  type: "y"
  #bunch of properties...
Solution

  • Use a dash to start a new list element:

    models:
 - model: "a"
   type: "x"
   #bunch of properties...
 - model: "b"
   type: "y"
   #bunch of properties...
