A unique JWT token is generated if valid credentials are passed. We create a custom cookie variable to store a token inside it.

And finally the logout view. Here the cookie is completely destroyed using the built-in delete_cookie method.

Finally the cookie is destroyed when the user logs out of the application.

Hope you found this helpful. Hope you love it.
