What are models in AngularJS?

Issue

I don't really understand what a model is in AngularJS. I know what a model is in the context of an MVC framework. For example in PHP I would create a model, like ApiModel.php or something like that, and in there I would put all sorts of cool stuff for the controller to work with.

This doesn't seem to be the way AngularJS thinks of models, in fact I can't find any good explanation of how to implement a model in AngularJS, but everywhere talks about them.

What is a model in AngularJS and how do I use them in the traditional MVC way?

Solution

A model in AngularJS specifically communicates with its associated views and controllers and notifies it whether there is a change in its state.
