The openapi-generator spec does have an optional single file endpoint:

Optional Array of Files

YAML spec

          -
            name: "attachment"
            in: "formData"
            description: "File to upload"

            type: "array"
            items:
              type: "file"

Generated Code

     * @param "Attachment" (optional.Interface of []*os.File) -  File to upload

	Attachment    optional.Interface
	FaxResolution optional.String
	SendTime      optional.Time
	IsoCode       optional.String
