Describe the feature you'd like to request

When creating a new Lambda function using the Amplify CLI, I walk through the CLI questions and finish.

But then I have to do an extraordinary amount of copy and paste from other past solutions to make the function work with TypeScript. And even then, though I follow the Amplify docs, I still end up doing a bit of "guess and check" to get it working.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be ideal to be able to specify "TypeScript" when running through the CLI options while creating the function.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I haven't considered other alternatives. Perhaps Nx may have an ability to generate a TypeScript Lambda. Though I am typically using Turborepo.
