Add support for SSR about matomo-tracker HOT 5 CLOSED

I was actually coincidentally 5 minutes ago also trying to use your pkg in a nextjs app!
I ran into the same issue.
I was thinking you could send the setting from the createInstance to the provider, add a useeffect there and initialize the instance since useEffect is only run clientside. But I am not sure if that is the prefered solution.
Maybe you could just initialize the script in a dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Get rid of the provider and only let the library be a useMatomo hook. The hook would just check for the matomo instance on the window.
My 2 cents!

At least we can use the tracker in a server side environment now without reference errors: https://github.com/Amsterdam/matomo-tracker/releases/tag/v0.1.4

@chrisvanmook Should we consider this issue resolved now that we can render an application on the server successfully?

I think we should. It doesn't support tracking on the server, however that also seems a bit pointless to support that for now, right?

Yeah agreed, I am closing this for now. If we ever do feel the need this code should work in an SSR environment including tracking we can deal with it then.
