`url` can't be overwritten which leads to failure in static site generation #18

Because url is based on the Astro request, the buttons fail to correctly generate when used with static sites generated by Astro (they all point to localhost:4321).

Take it back, you can actually set it!

@madrobby Leaving this for others who see this.

  1. URL defaults to Astro.requests.url which I believe uses the base url you set in your astro config. You can see this working on my blog and the source code that controls it.
  2. url can be overridden if you want, you can include it with SocialShare component or any of the individual buttons.

e.g.

<SocialShare
    url="https://whateverurlyouwant.com"
    description="Description of the page/post"
    via="YourTwitterAccount"
    title="Page Title"
/>
