Log out API

How to create log out api any idea?? 
What exactly I will do for log out API 
If once token is created by login API then how to delete that token or destroy that token using log out API

Hey  logging out is handled by the front-end. You just need to forget the token from your front-end. Usually this is done within local or session storage. Once the token is forgotten the user is logged out. So a new token would need to be generated to log in again via the /login API

For anyone coming to this and not finding the other answer to be enough….and if you are using Wized like I am - I figured out that if you create an action and on click you set a cookie value to null, it is the same thing as essentially forgetting or destroying a cookie.

After having done it, it feels like a no-brainer but for some reason it wasn't clicking.

Thank you for leaving this method here. I was wondering the same thing!

Here's how I built this based on the example above. Essentially only clearing my user_id cookie value and sending them to a confirmation page.
