React Native Test With Auth

To get started you first need to create an ngrok account and install ngrok on your terminal.

Start the ngrok tunnel with

ngrok http 5000

This will create a tunnel for port 5000 that any device can connect to. Copy the URL, for example https://lots-of-numbers-here.ngrok-free.app. This will go in the URL variable for your App.

IMPORTANT: You will need to change the URL in App.js every time you restart ngrok. You will NOT need to restart ngrok if you restart the flask server or react-native client.

In another terminal run these commands to get everything set up:

pipenv install
npm install --prefix client

Run these commands to upgrade, seed, and start the server:

pipenv shell
cd server
flask db upgrade
python seed.py
flask run --debug

In another terminal run the client with:

npm start --prefix client

If you have the expo client on your phone you should be able to use the QR code to connect and test the app fully.
