Devise - No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out: Any alternatives to requiring jquery-ujs, setting config.sign_out_via = :get, or using button_to?

Question

I am using Devise for a large app with multiple engines and am looking for an alternative solution to the three options given below to destroy an user's session path:

1. require jquery-ujs
2. change config.sign_out_via = :delete to config.sign_out_via = :get
3. use button_to instead of link_to

I'm currently require jquery-ujs and am able to successfully log out, but would prefer not to have to use this dependency for my solution.

= link_to 'Log Out', destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete

I will settle for require jquery-ujs if necessary, but am hoping someone out there knows another solution. Thanks!

Answer 1

You can add an additional route to your app to point to the standard devise log out action.

devise_scope :user do
  get '/users/sign_out', to: 'devise/sessions#destroy'
end

Then you'll have log out via both DELETE and GET
