Models are an integral part of programming which binds the instructions from the controller to be displayed in the view.  In this tutorial we will integrate a user model in to our API and expose some useful endpoints.

In this tutorial we will design a basic RESTful API using NodeJS and RESTify by following the critical elements of the API life cycle.
