Logging out a logged user through the Parse GraphQL API
Problem
You want to log out a logged user in your backend through the Parse GraphQL API.
Solution
Using the Parse GraphQL API, you can log out a logged user just by sending the user’s sessionToken through the X-Parse-Session-Token header (as described in the authenticating a user recipe) and calling the logOut mutation. Parse Server will destroy the sessionToken and it will not be accepted for any other future request.
Version Information
Depending on the version of Parse you choose to run, the GraphQL queries, mutations and results will be slightly different.
Please choose the correct example along with the Parse version you are running.
