Prisma1: Import support for various data sources

[nikolasburk]

Importing data into Graphcool requires two major steps:

1. transforming data to be imported into the normalized data format
2. uploading data to Graphcool

+--------------+ |                 +----------------+                 +------------+

As of today, the transform step needs to be done manually by the developer. However, in the future, an automatic transformation from various data sources will be implemented for the Graphcool CLI's graphcool import command.

Has there ever something grown out of this?

This is such important feature and now I see this,

prisma export

And the import says,

prisma import --data ~/backup.zip

This is so misleading feature. On the document it says, it'll be developed further, but on the console it says it won't be developed anymore.
