Normally, if you are not active for long time in your system then you will get error like below screen print.

How To Avoid TokenMismatchException On Logout In Laravel

To avoid TokenMismatchException error, we may add exceptions for the URLs that we don’t want to have CSRF protection. There are special array for that – in App/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php

class VerifyCsrfToken extends Middleware
{
    /**
     * The URIs that should be excluded from CSRF verification.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $except = [
        //
    ];
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So what we need do, just add logout into this array.

protected $except = [
    '/logout'
];
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you want to add more URLs then you can add here, but CSRF protection is also important.
