Customizable endpoint URL and User Language

[kidonng]

I noticed some parameters are hard-coded, specifically, the Google Analytics endpoint URL (https://www.google-analytics.com/collect) and User Language (ul):

https://github.com/jehna/ga-lite/blob/6b467e592b9880d9f8eb270f20c57e74176b3c6c/src/get-base-url.js#L5-L7

It would be awesome to be able to:

• Make ul use actual language provided by the user agent (e.g. navigator.language)
• Use a custom endpoint URL to avoid people blocking the official endpoint

Thank you for opening the issue. Good catch on the ul parameter! This should now be fixeed with #462

Using a custom endpoint would make sense — it would allow for routing the requests from your own domain (getting around any third-party restrictions), and even creating an alternative backends for the ga protocol.

How would you like to pass the endpoint url to ga-lite? How about something like:

galite('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
galite('set-endpoint', '/my-custom-collect-endpoint');
galite('send', 'pageview');

This would be majorly useful. Looking at using this script to proxy traffic through a cloudflare worker.
