params

• stringify: as json stringified option - for use in query or in loader string

todo

• show required installations if some are missing
• if they are missing, write out a line that shows the installation npm i command
• stringify the object queries such as inferno for usage as a string
• show if some options require being objects (if ^ cannot be strings)
• just loop instead of Object.assign, for compatibility, or use polyfill but that seems like overkill
• fill out more params explanation
• add .env option
• add hydrating from string
• add functions as properties on the function to manipulate a generated loader
  • reactjsx: true
  • .remove('reactjsx')
  • could also have config option that would just return the config with defaults
