Introduction

As a Node.js MVC framework, ThinkJS 2.0 has completely been rewritten with brand-new ECMAScript 2015/2016 features. By using ES2016's async/await or ES2015'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 ES2015/2016 features to develop projects thanks to the high development efficiency. The new version of Node.js has improved to support many ES2015/2016 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();
    //user name to match the recod in the database
    let result = await this.model('user').where({name: data.name}).find();
    if(!validateLogin(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 ES2015/2016 features boldly, and then the code can run in the Node.js 0.12.0+ environment stably.

Installation

npm install -g thinkjs

Create Application

thinkjs new demo

Install dependencies

npm install

You will see some messages on console like :

Performance comparsion

Evaluate whether a good framework, on the one hand to see the support of the function, it also depends on the performance. Although ThinkJS more suits for large projects, functions and complexity far exceeds Express and Koa, but the performance is not much less than the Express and Koa.

tips: The above data using distributed stress testing system to test.

All we can see is that there has just little distance in ThinkJS and Express, Koa. ThinkJS and Sails.js both suits large projects, but ThinkJS has higher performance than Sails.js.

You can go https://github.com/thinkjs/thinkjs-performance-test to clone all testing code and run in local. If you use ab testing tool, you shoud know it is instability on Mac.
