Logout & Middleware

Implementation of Logout Functionality and Middleware for Route Protection Logout: This securely logs users out using NextAuth. js which does proper token invalidation and session cleanup. Middleware to protect authenticated routes was added on the backend that redirected unauthenticated users unapologetically to the login page. It prevents some known attacks such as when an account is sold without logging in, by checking if JWT tokens are active and they are also validated against the database.

The database operations are error-prone, and an inconsistent user experience only exacerbates them — I have included the visual feedback for the logout actions, confirmation dialogs for several actions, and success notifications on successful logout. By logging into a user account, users can access the dashboard and chat functionality; these updates will allow for authenticated users to access the chat and dashboard functionality, thereby providing a secure experience and setting the foundation on which further features can be integrated.
