Introduction

As a Node.js MVC framework, ThinkJS 2.0 has completely been rewritten with brand-new ECMAScript 6/7 features. By using ES7's async/await or ES6's Generator Function features, ThinkJS 2.0 could thoroughly solve the asynchronous nesting problem within Node.js. Also, ThinkJS 2.0 has designed by absorbing the concepts and ideas of many frameworks around the world, so developing Node.js projects with ThinkJS would be more simple and efficient than ever.

It's a trend that using ES6/7 features to develop projects thanks to the high development efficiency. The new version of Node.js has improved to support many ES6/7 features, though some features have not been supported until now, and for those features we can use Babel to compile the code.

//user controller, home/controller/user.js
export default class extends think.controller.base {
  //login action
  async loginAction(self){
    //if it's GET method，display the login page
    if(this.isGet()){
      return this.display();
    }
    //here, we can use POST retrieve all data, and the data have been validated in the logic
    let data = this.post();
    let md5 = think.md5('think_' + data.pwd);
    //user name and encrypted password are used to match the recod in the database
    let result = await this.model('user').where({name: data.name, pwd: md5}).find();
    //if nothing matched, mean user name or password is/or all are incorrect
    if(think.isEmpty(result)){
      return this.fail('login fail');
    }
    //obtain the user infomation, and write to the seesion
    await this.session('userInfo', result);
    return this.success();
  }
}

With the help of Babel compiling, we can use the ES6/7 features boldly, and then the code can run in the Node.js 0.12.0+ environment stably.
