Use getServerSideProps instead of getInitialProps

[ka8725]

According to the official doc of next.js it's recommended to use getStaticProps or getServerSideProp instead of getInitialProps. Can it be added to this lib? Does that make sense? Thanks!

Addition of getServerSideProp and getServerSideProp is greatly desirable, since getInitialProps will be deprecated and most likely deleted from next.js.

It won't be deleted. getInitialProps is still feasible for a lot of apps.

@dvakatsiienko Where are you getting this information? I doubt this because it still has its advantages over getServerSideProps in some/many cases. The reason getInitialProps is discouraged (but still fully supported) is because it's easy to mess up if you're not careful about what you're doing (vercel/next.js#13864). So if you're careful you can make some optimizations using getInitialProps. next-with-apollo uses getInitialProps safely, so there is no advantage from switching to getServerSideProps.

I have a conflict with https://github.com/isaachinman/next-i18next because it uses getServerSideProps to load locales. But it's not possible to use getServerSideProps and getInitialProps at the same time.
