Use `click` choice options to simplify validation of project creation workflow #3878

Open ankatiyar opened 1 month ago

ankatiyar commented 1 month ago

Description

Going through the click documentation, I came across these features -

These could be used to get rid of/simplify the validation we do for inputs to kedro new options like --tools and --example.

Context

The project creation workflow is a little complicated, some values come from the CLI command and some from the cookiecutter prompts

Possible Implementation

Could use click functionalities to get rid of some of the custom validation we do for inputs using regex etc
Could explore if click prompts allow us to replace the cookiecutter prompts (related https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/2928 cc @lrcouto)
There might be other CLI options that we're accepting as strings and validating (haven't checked) that could benefit from inbuild click features
