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

@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.

Great 👍 I will create some frontend issues and mention you. How about #32 ? You have to create examples in language and frameworks of your choice.
