Quickstart

1. Import with from flask_localtunnel import run_with_lt
2. Add run_with_lt(app) to make your Flask app available upon running

# flask_ngrok_example.py
from flask import Flask
from flask_lt import run_with_lt

app = Flask(__name__)
run_with_lt(app)

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

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