laravel 8 return redirect logout code example

Example: laravel logout redirect

This is how I did it. In Auth\LoginController you have:

use AuthenticatesUsers;
Change it to:

use AuthenticatesUsers {
    logout as performLogout;
}
Then, define a new logout() method in your LoginController:

public function logout(Request $request)
{
    $this->performLogout($request);
    return redirect()->route('your_route');
}
Sure, regular logout() method in that trait has only 3 lines (used to log users out of the system) so you can copy them to your method, but you should always follow the DRY principle (don't repeat yourself) and re-use as much code as you can.
