unexpected strict mode reserved word — yield? Node v0.11, harmony, es6

问题

Trying to use a new ES6 based node.js ODM for Mongo (Robe http://hiddentao.github.io/robe/)

Getting "unexpected strict mode reserved word" error. Am I dong something wrong here?

test0.js

"use strict";
// Random ES6 (works)
{ let a = 'I am declared inside an anonymous block'; }

var Robe = require('robe');

// :(
var db1 = yield Robe.connect('127.0.0.1');

Run it:

C:\TestWS>node --version
v0.11.10

C:\TestWS>node --harmony test0.js

C:\TestWS\test0.js:12
var db1 = yield Robe.connect('127.0.0.1');
          ^^^^^

If you want to use generators to do asynchronous operation in synchronous fashion you must do it like:

co(function*() {
    "use strict";

    { let a = 'I am declared inside an anonymous block'; }

    var Robe = require('robe');

    var db1 = yield Robe.connect('127.0.0.1');
})();

where co realization you can find in:

co
Task.js
bluebird's Promise.coroutine
q's spawn

and so on.

In strict mode you cannot use yield outside of the generators. In non-strict mode outside of the generators yield will be considered as variable identifier - so in your case it'll throw an error anyway.

Also noteworthy... new versions of co return/use promises rather than thunks. So this is what worked with newer versions of co.

var co = require('co');

co(function*() {
    "use strict";

    { let a = 'I am declared inside an anonymous block'; }

    var Robe = require('robe');

    var db1 = yield Robe.connect('127.0.0.1/swot');
    console.log(db1)

    return db1;

}).then(function (value) {
    console.log(value);
}, function (err) {
    console.error(err.stack);
});
