Expose "sendUpdate" function for external use.

It'd be nice if the sendUpdate function in script.js was exposed. In SPAs, Shynet doesn't properly detect page transitions because the browser page is never reloaded. Hence you have to wait for the next heartbeat for anything to be tracked.

If the sendUpdate function was exposed, it could be called in your router transition event handler and would allow for these events to be tracked. For example with Fathom and Next.js you can do something like this:

Router.events.on("routeChangeComplete", () => {
  fathom.trackPageview();
});

The JS script could probably use some other updates too, like using window.addEventListener instead of directly overriding the onload prop. Let me know if you're open to these changes, I'm glad to make a PR.

Yeah, I'd like to do a pretty significant refactoring of the script -- I'll definitely expose some kind of shynet.newHit() function.

Latest update works great in my Next.js app - thanks!

Hi @milesmcc, as I can tell you did not expose newHit function yet? Should I just use shynet.newPageLoad() for SPA then?

[milesmcc]

Yep! Shynet.newPageLoad() is what you want to use.

Thank you!
