next.js/examples/with-analytics
Stephen Mathieson 9165d753d0 Add an example using analytics (#3580)
This patch adds an example of a Next.js app using analytics. A custom
document injects the [Segment](https://segment.com) bootstrapping
snippet into the `<head>`, allowing "page" and "track" calls to be made.

An issue came up in CNA asking how we handle this in our apps (see
https://github.com/segmentio/create-next-app/issues/24), so I figure an
"official example" could help.

NOTE: I am affiliated with Segment.

The idea behind the example

This example shows how to use Next.js along with Segment Analytics. A custom document is used in inject the Segment snippet into the <head> and components fire "track" events based on user actions.
