-# uCOMmandIt Reactive Class
-
-A Great Class to Extend! It has built in support to make reactive any/all class properties and their nested leaves.
-
-## Why?
-
-To have reactivity similar to vue and react but in any backend object?
-This allow a backend app to maintain app settings and allow "clients" to get updated values when the app changes state.  Essentially will create a 'mini' state event bus.
-
-## Features
-
-Will both emit and allow subscriptions to any property 'path' that has been made reactive.
-
-Allows custom registration of unlimited state change event hooks.
-
-Allows additional rxjs operators for the pipe the observer for each property.
-
-See Examples folder
