Comment:

 The docs now mention needing to use `show_in_rest` when registering meta.
 But they don't yet mention the need to add `custom-fields` support.

 I've created a Github issue to track this in the WP REST API docs repo:
 https://github.com/WP-API/docs/issues/51

 @sgarza you can now use `register_post_meta` to register metadata for a
 specific post type: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/07/27
