How do I implement logout functionality in a Vue 3 app using Axios?

To implement logout functionality in a Vue 3 app using Axios, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a logout method in your Vue component. 2. Use Axios to send a logout request to your backend API. 3. Clear any user data from local storage or Vuex store. 4. Redirect the user to the login page.

Can you show me an example of the logout method?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

methods: {
  logout() {
    axios.post('/api/logout')
      .then(response => {
        // Clear user data
        localStorage.removeItem('user');
        this.$router.push('/login');
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('Logout failed:', error);
      });
  }
}

What if I need to handle errors during logout?

You can handle errors by adding a .catch block to your Axios request, as shown in the example. You can also display an error message to the user if the logout fails.

Is there a way to confirm the logout action with the user?

Yes, you can use a confirmation dialog before proceeding with the logout. For example, you can use confirm('Are you sure you want to logout?') to prompt the user.
