### This inspired from flask-ngrok
## Important :-
Some time, flask-ngrok need root or sudo permission. so , if you are a non-root user, you can't use it.
And flask-ngrok download ngrok in temp directory (/tmp in linux) so if you run it after shutdown or restart, its download ngrok every time.
**In flask-ngrokpy both problems are fixed.**
### Disclaimer:-
Use it only for educational purpose.
A simple way to demo Flask apps from your machine.
Makes your [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) apps running on localhost available
over the internet via the excellent [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) tool.
## Compatability
Python 3.6+ is required.
## Installation
```bash
pip install flask-ngrokpy
```
### Inside Jupyter / Colab Notebooks
Notebooks have [an issue](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51180917/python-flask-unsupportedoperation-not-writable) with newer versions of Flask, so force an older version if working in these environments.
```bash
!pip install flask
```
See the [example notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/gstaff/flask-ngrokpy/blob/master/examples/flask_ngrok_example.ipynb) for a working example.
## Quickstart
1. Import with ```from flask_ngrokpy import run_with_ngrok```
2. Add `run_with_ngrok(app)` to make your Flask app available upon running
```python
# flask_ngrok_example.py
from flask import Flask
from flask_ngrokpy import run_with_ngrok
app = Flask(__name__)
run_with_ngrok(app) # Start ngrok when app is run
@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
```
Running the example:
```bash
python flask_ngrok_example.py
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
* Running on http://.ngrok.io
* Traffic stats available on http://127.0.0.1:4040
```
