A typical use case is to provide the user a sign out button which redirects to another page such as the homepage. The following implements this using the generic RedirectView.
conf/urls.py
| from app.views.signout import SignOut | |
| url(r'^signout/$', SignOut.as_view(), name='signout'), |
views/signout.py
| from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView | |
| from django.contrib.auth import logout | |
| from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse | |
| class SignOut(RedirectView): | |
| permanent = False | |
| query_string = True | |
| def get_redirect_url(self): | |
| logout(self.request) | |
| return reverse('home') |
