Route to logout

what version of laravel you are using?

Hi @Robinvm,

This post may help you out: http://stackoverflow.com/a/39197278/1538275

If you are using the authentication scaffolding provided by Laravel you can simply add Auth::routes(); anywhere in your web.php file and all your authentication routes will be included automatically. To answer your question more specifically, the logout route would look something like this in web.php:

Route::post('logout', ['as' => 'logout', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@logout'])

If I get you properly, if you have deleted any information from default package, then can easily add from here https://github.com/laravel/laravel

@user10 im using that auth::routes, how can i logout a user with a button then?

@Robinvm Generally a link to /logout will do the trick.

@JoshMountain i got this but it doesnt work </a href="{{ url('/logout') }}" > without that / at the end

@Robinvm I'm not sure I understand. What happens when you visit yourapp.dev/logout?

@JoshMountain it returns me and does not log me out

Laravel is actually sending POST request to logout these days.. so just linking to '/logout' won't work unless you change the route to Route::get() instead of Route::post()

                                <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                                    <li>
                                        <a href="{{ url('/logout') }}"
                                            onclick="event.preventDefault();
                                                     document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
                                            Logout
                                        </a>

                                        <form id="logout-form" action="{{ url('/logout') }}" method="POST" style="display: none;">
                                            {{ csrf_field() }}
                                        </form>
                                    </li>
                                </ul>

PS. You can always run php artisan make:auth to generate the files again, just make sure you backup the old ones if you have made any changes in them.

Route::get('/logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout');
