Improve the prompt for variable values #14

Closed brikis98 closed 7 years ago

This PR improves the way the boilerplate prompts the user for variable values. I largely copied the style used by Terraform. See the screenshot below.

@josh-padnick Merging so I can do a flurry of boilerplate improvements. Feedback welcome :)

Can you provide more color (ha!) around your decision to just use a longer prompt versus introducing a new property like details?

I'm a fan of the way Terraform prompts for variables. I think it's clear, handles long and short prompts well, and makes it obvious what the action is. I don't see much reason to reinvent the wheel, so I figure we can go with that look and feel until we find something definitively better.

Sounds good.
