* 2. **Models** are created from an `options.models` object or `models.json` in the current directory

* 2. Creates Models from the `models.json` file in the application root directory.
*
* **Options**
* If the argument is an object, then it looks for `model`, `dataSources`, and `appRootDir` properties of the object.
* If the object has no `appRootDir` property then it sets the current working directory as the application root directory.
* Then it:
* 1. Creates DataSources from the `options.dataSources` object.
* 2. Creates Models from the `options.models` object.
