init-data is broken

[darr1s]

I think init-data is written in either Flow or TypeScript, and babel-node is not configured to compile.

Error log

@bin4ryio Workaround is to install flow preset for babel-node.

1. npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/node [https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-node](Babel Docs)
2. Update init-data script in package.json to "init-data": "npx babel-node scripts/initData.js",
3. Run npm run init-data

Alternatively you can also run it on the fly instead if you don't want to install the dependency:
"init-data": "npx -p @babel/core -p @babel/node babel-node scripts/initData.js",
