How do I implement logout functionality in Django?

To implement logout functionality in Django, you can use the built-in logout view from django.contrib.auth. You just need to include it in your URL patterns.

Can you show me an example of how to set it up in my views?

Sure! In your urls.py, you can add a path like this: path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'). Then, you can create a link to this URL in your templates.

What happens after a user logs out?

After logging out, the user will be redirected to a specified URL, which you can set using the next_page attribute in the LogoutView.

Is there a way to display a message after logout?

Yes! You can use Django's messages framework to display a message after logout by setting the next_page to a view that adds a message.
