Inside a browser context, `signOut()` will remove the logged in user from the browser session
and log them out - removing all items from localstorage and then trigger a `"SIGNED_OUT"` event.

For server-side management, you can revoke all refresh tokens for a user by passing a user's JWT through to `auth.api.signOut(JWT: string)`.
There is no way to revoke a user's access token jwt until it expires. It is recommended to set a shorter expiry on the jwt for this reason.

```js
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
```

## Notes

- In order to use the `signOut()` method, the user needs to be signed in first.

## Examples

### Sign out

```js
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
```
