codegen on pull: amplify codegen statements from other frontends with a multi frontend environment setup

[fkoner]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When working with multiple frontends (e.g. various projects implemented in ReactJS) It would be super that the files of the queries, mutations and subscriptions could be downloaded in some way in these new frontends, brought from the main backend, and saved at an specific folder something similar when running the following command:

amplify codegen statements

It saves the queries, mutations and subscriptions and schema.json at the following default location /src/graphql/*.js

Describe the solution you'd like
Something similar to the following:

amplify codegen statements --appId xxxxxxxxxxxxxx --envName itRocks

Describe alternatives you've considered
Pull the backend schema definition from cloud, and generate the schema, queries, mutations and subscriptions and save it at the default location /src/graphql/*.js

Additional context

Thanks in advance

@chriszirkel looks like they have that in the docs: https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/graphql-transformer/codegen#amplify-configure-codegen

This is now possible with:

amplify codegen add --apiId <appsync-api-id> --region <appsync-api-region>
amplify codegen
