v1.0.2 (#4)

* Update package.json

Updated package.json to no longer require Angular 11 as a peer dependency

* Fix #3

Removed pixel ID length check as these are not always the same length. There is also no documentation which shapes a pixel ID can take.

* Update models

Moved Pixel event names from inline to models as new type PixelEventName

* Fix #1

Allow dynamic pixel IDs to be passed to `initialize()`. A default ID should still be provided in module declaration.

* Update JSDoc

* Add logging

Added console warnings when either of the tracking functions is called without an active Pixel instance

* Update package.json
