First off wanted to say thanks for writing this book! I’m new to clojure and this has been a great resource for exploring the clojure web-dev ecosystem!

I ran into an error while adding the login / logout buttons in chapter 6. We implement `api/login` earlier but we do not implement `api/logout`. Thus clicking the log-out button returns a 404 from the server and prevents the client-side success handler from executing.

It’s a fun exercise to implement it myself though 🙂

EDIT: I realized an implementation was included in the accompanying source code (see guestbook-login for example). Perhaps it was intended to be included in the book as well

In B17.0(page173) and P1.0(page172) _api/logout_ is implemented.
