Add data seeder to backend

[mhalsubhi]

When cloning a project locally, there is no data to start with for testing or experiment with, so it will be nice if there's a seeder to seed data to the local database.

I'm thinking of adding an npm script called seed so we will have command npm run seed to seed local database with current actual data fetched from api

so basically the npm run seed will:-

1. connect to local database
2. fetch data from api.
3. seed local database.

I think the file will be named seeder.js and it will be in the root of backend folder and use Axios as dev dependency

If you like the idea assign it to me so I'll give it a shot

@mhalsubhi
This is awesome, this was on my ToDo.

Thanks for making an issue for this.

@guzbarraf sure, you both can collaborate on this. If it is okay with @mhalsubhi.
@mhalsubhi let me know if you are open to collaborate?

In the meantime, I will assign this to both of you. 💯

@lelouchB sure, I would like to collaborate with @guzbarraf, so we will divide it into two tasks

1. fetch data from API using Axios as dev dependency.
2. seed database with fetched data with npm run seed.

@guzbarraf choose what task you would like to work on and I'll pick the other one 👍🏼

[guzbarraf]

I am happy to collaborate with you @mhalsubhi and I take the first task

[mhalsubhi]

@guzbarraf so I'm I 👍🏼 , we will create seeder.js in the backend folder, in the file data will be fetched using Axios, after you complete it, please mention me so I can use your fetched data to seed database.

@guzbarraf
I guess this issue is almost complete
But you can go ahead and send the PR, I will approve it so that it can be counted as a valid Hacktoberfest contribution.

Can you let me know what kind of issues you are interested on frontend, backend, test, bugs, etc.
And I will try to come up with an issue for you and assign it you .

Thanks
