Auth-module: Unable to clear storage (both localStorage and Cookie)

[joshtom]

I have a quick question that I've been battling for a little while.

I tried logging out by clearing the localStorage and cookie using the inbuilt nuxt-auth method but it doesn't seem to work. Below is what I tried separately but doesn't seem to work

handleLogout() { this.$auth.$storage.removeUniversal("auth._token.local"); this.$auth.$storage.removeCookie("auth._token.local", isJson); this.$auth.$storage.removeCookie("auth._token.local"); },

However, I tried clearing the storage using the window storage api, It clears it but immediately restores it.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi @joshtom! The built-in logout method do a lot of stuff in background, it doesn't simply clear the storage. So I would like to know what is the purpose of logging out by clearing the localStorage and cookies manually? This way I can help you better, because it really depends on what you want to achieve :)

Hi @JoaoPedroAS51! Thanks for the response.

There is no api endpoint for logout and I simply want to just clear the localStorage and Cookie so that the user gets redirected to the login.

Hope this explains it better. Thanks

Ok, got it. Then I recommend using the built-in logout method $auth.logout(), but in endpoints option set logout: false. This will disable the logout request, but still do the other stuff in background on logout :wink:

Thanks for this piece! It worked perfectly!

However, I have another question regarding Oauth, Should I open another issue or just go ahead with it?

I'm happy to know it's working now! And yes, let's open another issue
