How do I implement logout functionality in a React app using Axios?

To implement logout functionality, you can create a logout function that clears the user's token and updates the state.

Can you show me a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const logout = () => {
  localStorage.removeItem('token');
  setUser(null);
};

This function removes the token from local storage and sets the user state to null.

What if I need to notify the server about the logout?

You can make an Axios POST request to your logout endpoint before clearing the token:

const logout = async () => {
  await axios.post('/api/logout');
  localStorage.removeItem('token');
  setUser(null);
};
