Logout Module

Steps to Develop a logout module.

1. No Template for Logout module

// No template

2. Create view function for Logout Module.

In Django, the LogoutView provided by django.contrib.auth.views is a class-based view that handles user logout. To use it in your project, you can include it in your urls.py file.

Here's an example of how you can use LogoutView in your Django project:

1. Open your urls.py file in the app where you want to include the logout functionality.

2. Import LogoutView:

from django.contrib.auth.views import LogoutView

1. Add a URL pattern for the LogoutView. You can do this by including the following line in your urls.py:

from django.urls import path
from django.contrib.auth.views import LogoutView

urlpatterns = [
    # other URL patterns
    path('logout/', LogoutView.as_view(next_page='login'), name='logout'),

]

This creates a URL pattern for the /logout/ endpoint, and when a user accesses this URL, the LogoutView will handle the logout process.

1. Update your templates: If you want to create a link or button for logging out in your templates, use the following example:

<a href="{% url 'logout' %}">Logout</a>

This example assumes that you have a URL pattern named 'logout' in your urls.py file.

Now, when a user clicks the logout link, they will be logged out, and the logout_view function will redirect them to the specified home page.

4. Run the development server to check the functionality:

Start the development server if it's not running already:

python manage.py runserver

Access the interface by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
