# conventions

Sane conventions that you should use.

1. Model names are capitalized and singular, e.g. `Movie` and `CarPart`.

2. Properties are camelCase, e.g. `year` and `exhaustType`

3. Examples of date stamps should be in past tense, e.g.`created` and `lastUpdated`.

4. Foreign keys should be prefixed with the foreign entity's name, e.g. `userId` and `carId`.

These will map to your database schemas as well.

# built-in models

These models are available to your application, however you need to create the relevant tables.

1. `User`: Allows you to use [User API](http://docs.strongloop.com/display/public/LB/User+REST+API)

2. `AccessToken`: Allows you to use the [AccessToken API](http://docs.strongloop.com/display/public/LB/Access+token+REST+API)

You should try to use the built-in models instead of rolling in your own.
