support

  • Added Obj.filter(obj, callback(key, value)) to allow you to filter the entries in an object by keys and/or values

    • fs-promise is slow to load, causing grind-support to take 40ms+ to load vs 5ms without it
    • recursive-readdir and mkdirp are now required as-needed instead of upfront, as most apps won‘t use them
  • Added Watcher class to abstract logic that requires restarting a piece of code when files change
