A wrapper around Ngrok providing a secure tunnel to localhost for demoing your Elixir/Phoenix web application or testing webhook integrations.

The default configurations may be overridden by setting any of the following in your config/config.exs file:

config :ngrok,
  # The name / path of the Ngrok executable
  executable: "ngrok"

Usage

Add the following code to your application / supervisor:

{Ngrok, port: 4000, name: MyApp.Ngrok}

The follwoing options are supported:

• port (integer / required) - The port to tunnel.

• additional_arguments ([String.t()] / default: []) - Additional options to pass to ngrok.
• name (Supervisor name / default: Ngrok) - Name of the supervisor in your application.

Retrieving your public URL

Ngrok will create a public URL that tunnels to your development machine. The URL will change every time Ngrok starts, but you can retrieve the URL by running the following:

Ngrok.public_url(MyApp.Ngrok) # => http://(.*).ngrok.io/
