accounts.views.logout

accounts.views.logout(request)[source]

View for logging out of an account.

This view handles the user logout process. It renders a template after the user has logged out, providing information about the user such as username, first name, last name, email, last login date, and date joined.

Args:

request (HttpRequest): The HTTP request object sent by the client.

Returns:

HttpResponse: A response containing the rendered HTML template ‘logout.html’ with the provided context data.

Note:

  • Normally, you would use Django’s built-in logout function to log the user out. This can be done using from django.contrib.auth import logout and calling logout(request).

  • Ensure that the ‘logout.html’ template is set up to handle the provided context data.
