-CBI models are Lua files describing the structure of an UCI config file and the resulting HTML form to be evaluated by the CBI parser.
-All CBI model files must return an object of type *luci.cbi.Map*. For a commented example of a CBI model, see the [[Documentation/ModulesHowTo#CBImodels|Writing Modules tutorial]].
-The scope of a CBI model file is automatically extended by the contents of the module *luci.cbi_' and the '_translate* function from luci.i18n
