Upon user login, I store user information in browser sessions on the client side (using Angular) like this:
$window.sessionStorage.setItem('loggedInUser', JSON.stringify(val));
For logout authentication on the backend (using Passportjs), I have set up the following route:
app.get('/logout', isLoggedIn, function(req, res) {
req.logout();
res.redirect('/');
});
When a user logs out and is redirected, my Angular app does not have access to the '/logout' API endpoint. Therefore, I cannot call
sessionStorage.clear();
because it relies on the '/logout' trigger.
I am wondering if there is a way to clear browser session storage on the backend using Node.js?
