curl -X DELETE -v -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://still-journey-99004.herokuapp.com/api/auth/sign_out -d '{"authenticity_token" : "<Token returned from sign_in api>" }'

Note : Replace the token returned from 'api/auth/sign_in' to <Token returned from sign_in api>

API test using AJAX

  Sign in
  -------
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",

      user: {
        email: "test@mydomain.com",
        password: "default"
      }
    },
    success: function(data, textStatus, request) {
      localStorage.token = data.token;
      console.log('Got a token from the server! Token: ' + data.resource.email + " " + localStorage.token);
    },
    error: function() {
      alert("Login Failed");
    }
  });

  Access Customers.json
  ---------------------

  $.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/customers',
    beforeSend: function(xhr) {
      if (localStorage.token) {
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + localStorage.token);
      }
    },
    success: function(data) {
      console.log('Hello ' + JSON.stringify(data) + '! You have successfully accessed to /api/v1/customers.');

      console.log('sign_out status : ' + data.status);
  }).fail(function() {
      alert("Logout Failed");
  });

Please use the html file, available in "misc_test" folder for AJAX based API test.
