The successor for flask-ngrok2 for making demo Flask apps from personal machine.

flask-ngrok2-pageprinter

Based on flask-ngrok and flask-ngrok2 The successor for flask-ngrok for making demo Flask apps from personal machine with added auth token functionality to build indipendent full stack apps within jupyer notebook and google collab. notebooks.

Compatability

Python 3.6+ is required.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/Davz33/flask-ngrok2-pageprinter

Quickstart

1. Import with from flask_ngrok2_pp import run_with_ngrok
2. Add run_with_ngrok(app,logpath,auth_token) to make your Flask app available upon running
3. At server start, the log at logpath will contain the ngrok tunnel address. You can then json.load-it and make use of it for http/https request within jupyter notebooks.

To make full sense of this package, you need to run the following as python command from a .py external script: If you want to self-contain every piece of your notebook, just !touch script.py and write into from your j.notebook cell.

# flask_ngrok_example.py
from flask import Flask
from flask_ngrok2_pp import run_with_ngrok

app = Flask(__name__)
run_with_ngrok(app, logpath=LOGPATH, auth_token=authtoken)  # Start ngrok when app is run

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Then, in your jupyer notebook, you can use json.load() to pull the active tunnel address.
