Create seed script to populate the database

[wdoug]

As a new developer, I would like to have some seed data available in the database so I can work with different data without having to create it all myself

Update on the issue! I'm looking into using graphql-tools to create what they call a mock schema. I'm running into trouble with how our schema is defined. In most of the mock examples it's defined in a Js file but In our case its defined in a graphql file.

Any suggestions or help is very welcome.

Other avenues i've explored to solve this issue: graphql-faker, and setting up a separate graphcool endpoint with fake data.

@andymond what is the status of this work?

It would be really nice if we could use something like the seed script setting that prisma supports. This is making me think it would be worth investigating migrating the backend to prisma again (see card #274)
