Can anyone suggest the best way to access: 1. Catalog definition 2. Pipeline definition Before the pipeline runs, and ideally outside the normal

kedro run

life cycle? Im trying to accomplish two very different things with this 1. is trying to implicitly figure out which nodes depend on each other via memory datasets, to support using memory datasets in a distributed argo pipeline running a kedro pipeline 2. generate documentation via a mermaid diagram that I can store in a readme file. Similar to kedro viz (but with some subtle key features)

Someone will reply to you shortly. In the meantime, this might help:

for 1. you can always instantiate the config loader and data catalog programmatically, see for example https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/notebooks_and_ipython/notebook-example/add_kedro_to_a_notebook.html#use-kedro-s-configurat[…]-load-the-data-catalog

Hmm for pipeline I have something like this that generate a pipeline ascii https://github.com/noklam/kedro-example/blob/master/ascii_hook%2Fsrc%2Fascii_hook%2Fdagascii.py Not sure if they still run I created this few years ago, but should not take too much to edit
