getDataLayer won't work because it expects a type `arguments` not `array` #195

I have been scratching my head for quite some time on this.

When using gtag to try and get a client_id it works, but when trying to use the datalayer directly, it does not. I found this:

When using the gtag function, it loads an argument type object into dataLayer. This is different from a normal array. I think whatever javascript is watching the dataLayer array, is only executing on "argument" type values.

For this reason, this packages getDataLayer is not useful right now. I think instead it should do something similar to gtag and provide a gtag function on the service which passses it to datalayer.
