graphql-api-construct should output the codegen types.

Describe the feature you'd like to request

new AmplifyGraphqlApi(this, "Api", {
      definition: <path-to-schema>,
     //There should be a feature like this
     codegenTypesOut: <path-to-d.ts>  
     //
      authorizationModes: {
        defaultAuthorizationMode: "API_KEY",
        apiKeyConfig: {
          expires: cdk.Duration.days(7),
        },
      },
    });

Need to use those type definition while working in the lambda resolvers.

Additional context

Currently I'm doing it manually with the help of @graphql-codegen/cli

• Reading the output schema from cdk.out
• Declaring the appsync scalars manually

This is the codegen.ts file

import type { CodegenConfig } from "@graphql-codegen/cli";
import { existsSync, lstatSync, readdirSync } from "fs";
import { join, resolve } from "path";

function giveFilePathWithExtension(dir, extension) {
 //
}

const config: CodegenConfig = {
  schema: [
    giveFilePathWithExtension(resolve(__dirname, "./cdk.out"), ".graphql"),

    // Containing all the scalar
    "./appsync.graphql",
  ],
  // documents: ["src/api/graphql/**/*.graphql"],
  generates: {
    "appsync.d.ts": {
      plugins: ["typescript"],
    },
  },
  config: {
    scalars: {
      AWSJSON: "string",
      AWSDate: "string",
      AWSTime: "string",
      AWSDateTime: "string",
      AWSTimestamp: "number",
      AWSEmail: "string",
      AWSURL: "string",
      AWSPhone: "string",
      AWSIPAddress: "string",
    },
  },
};
export default config;

Is this something that you'd be interested in working on?
