     import { RestGen, route, auth } from 'microback'
     import User from 'model/user'
     class UserRest extends RestGen {
       /**

       constructor () {
         super('user', User)
       }
       /**

       @route('post', 'login')
       async login (ctx) {
         try {
           let body = ctx.request.body
           body.password = auth.generateHash(body.password)
           const token = await auth.login(body.email, body.password, User)
           ctx.body = { success: true, token }
         } catch (error) {
           ctx.body = { success: false, error }
