signOut

The signOut client method signs out the current user: it invalidates the session token and clears the session cookie, from a client-side or browser context.

import { authClient } from "@/lib/auth-client"

const output = await authClient.signOut({
  redirectTo: "/login",
})

BehaviorCopy Anchor Link

• Cookies are cleared automatically in the browser context — you don't need to handle them manually.
• The CSRF token is automatically loaded and sent with the request — you don't need to handle it manually.
• The return value depends on the redirect option:
  • redirect: true (default) — navigates to redirectTo (or the default post-sign-out URL) via window.location.assign.
  • redirect: false — resolves to an object with redirectURL, redirect: false, and success, letting you handle navigation yourself.
• If sign-out fails (e.g. missing or mismatched CSRF token, or no active session to invalidate), redirectURL resolves to null and success is false.
