# model

## About

A `Model` represents the data of your application. Asteroid `Model`s are mostly used for validating interactions with a [DataSource](../data-source). Usually your models will correspond to a namespace in your data source (database table, http url, etc). The bulk of your application's business logic will be in your `Model` or Node.js scripts that require your model.

### Options

#### namespace

A table, collection, url, or other namespace.

#### properties

An array of properties describing the model's schema.

    "properties": [
        {
          "name": "title",
          "type": "string"
        },
        {
          "name": "done",
          "type": "boolean"
        },
        {
          "name": "order",
          "type": "number"
        }
      ]
    }

### Dependencies

#### data source

A [data-source](../data-source) for persisting data.
