Description

I can see that it is possible to create a graphql type or mutation based on an existing mongoose schema using the --schema command, it would be great if creating a model without an existing mongoose schema could generate one.

For example the command:

create-graphql generate -tm User

Generates:

./src/model/User.js

Research direction
The issue requests adding functionality to generate a Mongoose schema when using the ` schema` flag. To implement, review the code generation logic in the repository, particularly the files that handle type creation, likely in the generator module. Understand how existing types and mutations are generated, then extend the template to include a Mongoose schema.
