This PR addresses the issue #64 by modifying the logout functionality to clear the localStorage when a user logs out. Currently, the application does not clear the localStorage, which can lead to potential security risks and incorrect user data being displayed if a new user logs in on the same browser.
Summary of Changes
In server.js, modified the logout route handler to include a flag clearLocalStorage: true in the JSON response.
In src/authentication/firebase.js, added a condition to check for the clearLocalStorage flag in the logout response from the server. If it's true, the localStorage is cleared using localStorage.clear().
This change ensures that the localStorage is cleared when a user logs out, providing a more secure and accurate user experience.
Fixes #64.
