Can't create or upload shader file types (.vert & .frag)

Feature enhancement details:

I was trying to play with some of the new shader methods in p5 but it looks like the editor is restricted in the filetypes it's allowing to upload.

I was wondering if we could allow shader file types (at least .vert .frag and .glsl) so that shaders can be used in the editor. Is there a reason that these ones are being restricted or did they just get overlooked? Seems like it would just be a matter of adding them in here

There's no reason they are left out! I thought it would be better to whitelist file types as they come up rather than allow anything. As you pointed out, I think it's a really quick fix.

Awesome! Thank you :D

As a side note, I did manage to get shaders working just by saving them in .txt files. One extra enhancement I'd suggest if it's possible is to add GLSL syntax highlighting.

i'm pretty sure CodeMirror already has GLSL syntax highlighting so it also should be relatively easy to add!

@aferriss i just fixed and deploy this! test and let me know if it doesn't work as expected.

Amazing! Thank you :D
