Add A/B Tests and Feature Flags example (#13629)
## Summary
This PR adds a basic example of how [Tesfy](https://tesfy.io/) could be integrated with Next.js. Tesfy is a project that I've working on during quarantine weekends, mainly to learn new stuff and provide **free** and **unlimited** A/B Tests and Feature Flags while keeping a good performance and the library [size](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=react-tesfy@1.2.1) as small as possible.

The configuration file could be set up using a [web application](https://app.tesfy.io/) (hosted in Vercel 🎉 ) or by your self.

## Implementation
- Created `with-tesfy` folder
- Added two pages `index.js` and `features.js` to show how experiments and features could be used
- The only thing that must be persisted is the `userId`. Used a cookie to save it.
- Uses `getServerSideProps` to fetch the configuration file and get/create the `userId`.

## Screenshots

There are some screenshots from the web application. Where you can easily configure experiments and audiences per project. Teams and features will soon be added.

This is my first PR! sorry if I made something wrong 😞 . Any feedback is more than welcome. Also I want to thank you all for the awesome work with Next.js ❤️

# A statically generated blog example using Next.js and GraphCMS
This example showcases Next.js's [Static Generation](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages) feature using [GraphCMS](https://www.graphcms.com/) as the data source.
## Demo
- **Live**: [https://next-blog-graphcms.now.sh/](https://next-blog-graphcms.now.sh/)
- **Preview Mode**: [https://next-blog-graphcms.now.sh/api/preview...](https://next-blog-graphcms.now.sh/api/preview?secret=PHHsT9YmZjHxjxuzt8Jie2XkieME&slug=technical-seo-with-graphcms)

## Deploy your own
Once you have access to [the environment variables you'll need](#step-3-set-up-environment-variables), deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example):
[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/import/git?c=1&s=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/cms-graphcms&env=GRAPHCMS_PROJECT_API,GRAPHCMS_PROD_AUTH_TOKEN,GRAPHCMS_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN,GRAPHCMS_PREVIEW_SECRET&envDescription=Required%20to%20connect%20the%20app%20with%20GraphCMS&envLink=https://vercel.link/cms-graphcms-env)
## How to use
### Using `create-next-app`
Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/) to bootstrap the example:
```bash
npx create-next-app --example cms-graphcms cms-graphcms-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example cms-graphcms cms-graphcms-app
```
### Download manually
Download the example:
```bash
curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/cms-graphcms
cd cms-graphcms
```
## Configuration
### Step 1. Create an account and a project in GraphCMS
First, [create an account in GraphCMS](https://app.graphcms.com).
### Step 2. Create a new GraphCMS project
After creating an account, create a new project from the **Blog Starter template** - be sure to include the example content.
### Step 3. Set up environment variables
Copy the `.env.local.example` file in this directory to `.env.local` (which will be ignored by Git):
```bash
cp .env.local.example .env.local
```
Inside your project dashboard, navigate to **Settings > API Access page**.
Then set each variable in `.env.local`:
- `GRAPHCMS_PROJECT_API`: Set it to the API endpoint under **Endpoints**, at the top of the page.
- `GRAPHCMS_PROD_AUTH_TOKEN`: Copy the `NEXT_EXAMPLE_CMS_GCMS_PROD_AUTH_TOKEN` token under **Existing tokens**, at the bottom of the page. This will only query content that is published.
- `GRAPHCMS_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN`: Copy the `NEXT_EXAMPLE_CMS_GCMS_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN` token under **Existing tokens**, at the bottom of the page. This will only query content that is in draft.
- `GRAPHCMS_PREVIEW_SECRET` can be any random string (but avoid spaces), like `MY_SECRET` - this is used for [Preview Mode](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/preview-mode).
### Step 4. Run Next.js in development mode
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
```
Your blog should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/discussions).
### Step 5. Try preview mode
In GraphCMS, go to one of the posts in your project and:
- **Update the title**. For example, you can add `[Draft]` in front of the title.
- After you edit the document save the article as a draft, but **DO NOT** click **Publish**. By doing this, the post will be in the draft stage.
Now, if you go to the post page on localhost, you won't see the updated title. However, if you use **Preview Mode**, you'll be able to see the change ([Documentation](/docs/advanced-features/preview-mode.md)).
To view the preview, transform the url to the following format: `http://localhost:3000/api/preview?secret=<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>&slug=<SLUG_TO_PREVIEW>` where `<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>` is the same secret you defined in the `.env.local` file and `<SLUG_TO_PREVIEW>` is the slug of one of the posts you want to preview.
You should now be able to see the updated title. To exit the preview mode, you can click on _"Click here to exit preview mode"_ at the top.
### Step 6. Deploy on Vercel
You can deploy this app to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)).
#### Deploy Your Local Project
To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and [import to Vercel](https://vercel.com/import/git?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example).
**Important**: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on **Environment Variables** and set them to match your `.env.local` file.
#### Deploy from Our Template
Alternatively, you can deploy using our template by clicking on the Deploy button below.
