Implementing sign out

The signOut method revokes the session on the frontend and backend.

import React from "react";
import { signOut } from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/thirdpartyemailpassword";

function NavBar() {
  async function onLogout() {
    await signOut();
    window.location.href = "/";
  }
  return (
    <ul>
      <li>Home</li>
      <li onClick={onLogout}>Logout</li>

    </ul>
  )
}
  • We do not provide any UI for a Sign-out button
  • On success, the signOut function does not redirect the user to another page, so you must redirect the user yourself.
  • The signOut function calls the signout API exposed by the session recipe on the backend.
  • If you call the signOut function whilst the access token has expired, but the refresh token still exists, our SDKs will do an automatic session refresh before revoking the session.
