How do I implement logout in Django Rest Framework with OAuth2?

To implement logout in Django Rest Framework with OAuth2, you can revoke the access token. This can be done by creating a logout endpoint that calls the revoke_token method.

Can you show me an example of the logout endpoint?

Sure! You can create a view like this:

from oauth2_provider.views import RevokeTokenView

class CustomLogoutView(RevokeTokenView):
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return super().post(request, *args, **kwargs)

Then, add it to your URLs.

What about the front-end implementation?

On the front-end, you can make a POST request to the logout endpoint when the user clicks the logout button. Make sure to handle the response appropriately.

Is there a way to automatically log out users after a certain period?

Yes, you can implement token expiration and check for it on each request. If the token is expired, you can log the user out.
