obj {Object}: Object to group.
grouper {Function}: Optional grouping function that takes acc, value, key, obj, setter
setter {Function}: Optional setter function that takes acc, group, value, key, obj
acc {Object}: Optional accumulator object passed to the setter function.
returns {Object}: Object containing groups as keys and list of objects as values in the group.

Example

function grouper (acc, value, key, obj, setter) {
  return value.group;
}

function setter (acc, group, value, key, obj) {
  acc[group] = acc[group] || {};
  acc[group][key] = value;
}

var obj = {
  a: { group: 'one', content: 'A'},
  b: { group: 'one', content: 'B'},
  c: { group: 'two', content: 'C'},
  d: { group: 'two', content: 'D'},
  e: { group: 'three', content: 'E'},
  f: { group: 'three', content: 'F'}
};

var groups = groupBy(obj, grouper, setter);
//=> {
//=>   one: {
//=>     a: { group: 'one', content: 'A'},
//=>     b: { group: 'one', content: 'B'}
//=>   },
//=>   two: {
//=>     c: { group: 'two', content: 'C'},
//=>     d: { group: 'two', content: 'D'}
//=>   },
//=>   three: {
//=>     e: { group: 'three', content: 'E'},
//=>     f: { group: 'three', content: 'F'}
//=>   }
//=> }
