Pipes and Unix pipes

[Corentin Dupont]

Hi guys!

I am wondering if Pipes can interact with Unix named pipes (or FIFO).

For example, can you combine two Unix pipes into one?

Another question, can Pipes be used for managing REST API Webhooks?

As a webhook is a sort of callback, I guess that scaling them will end up in callback hell.

Why not using an event programming library to solve this?

My ultimate goal is to create a shell script that will start a REST server with netcat.

This REST server will wait for requests from several webhooks (for example github: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/) and combine them.

Cheers

Corentin

I don't think there is a library that supports `pipes` integration with named pipes out of the box, but you could write one in principle

You can definitely use `pipes` for hooking into callback code.  See the `pipes-concurrency` library for an example of how to do this.  It basically just has the callback stuff data into a buffer than has a pipe read from that buffer
