Describe the bug

First of all this is flutter related!

When declaring types in the schema.graphql e.g. enum EventType { a, b } that do exists in terms of naming in the imported packages in the generated files from codegen, flutter is not able to resolve the correct type as it exits two times then.

Expected behavior

All self created types can be choosen (by name)

Reproduction steps

Declare a enum EventType { a, b } in the schema.graphql and use this type in an entity in the schema.graphql and then amplify push amplify codegen models .

The generated files are not compile able by default.

GraphQL schema(s)

# Put schemas below this line

Log output

# Put your logs below this line

Additional information

This can easy be solved if the imports:

import 'ModelProvider.dart';
import 'package:amplify_core/amplify_core.dart';
import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

would be written like:

import 'ModelProvider.dart';
import 'package:amplify_core/amplify_core.dart' as amplify_core;
import 'package:collection/collection.dart' as collection;
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart' as flutter_foundation;

beacuse now all types can be resolved correctly. Of course this prefix now needs to be added anywhere where its used!
