Can I just pass in a yaml string instead of yaml file names? about docker-compose HOT 6 CLOSED

@nielinjie @emileae Did you notice we got this thanks to @furstenheim by #124 a while ago?

from docker-compose.

@nielinjie this repository practically wraps calls to docker-compose binary, and it doesn't support as far as I can tell receiving it's configuration from standard input.

This practically means no, and I doubt it will be supported - it would mean building functionality that does not exist in docker-compose itself.

EDIT: Nvm, apparently you can pass configuration via stdin, see https://gist.github.com/rmetzler/715cd24ded7438ace962

I wonder if this would be possible to implement. @nielinjie would you be willing to send a pull request?

I'd be very interested in this enhancement, any tips on where to start?

@emileae I believe it would be something like passing a stream as stdin to spawned process options. You'd probably want to create one such stream from a string and pass into...

See https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawn_command_args_options and https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_options_stdio for available process options.

Haven't tried that though. I haven't worked in node for a while.

Really cool, thanks for letting me know!
