De-identify a user?

[alexlatchford]

Hey I'm using reactjs and our sign out doesn't actually reload the page. How can I sign out a user? I'm currently doing this, which works but seems a little hacky:

ldclient.identify({ key: '', anonymous: false });

I'm not after anonymous tracking, thus the ''. If I pass in null or undefined I get a 400 from the server, if I don't pass anything the user says logged in.

Any suggestions?

Hi @alexlatchford,

Thanks for reaching out.

We actually use anonymous users ourselves for this scenario, since we still end up collecting events, without polluting our dashboard with "unknown" users.

Is there a reason why you're trying to avoid anonymous tracking?

As for the 400 error, that's bad etiquette on our part. We're going to improve that.

Cheers,
Alexis

Ah okay. If that's the convention that's fine by me, I hadn't used the anonymous feature and didn't really want to clutter up our users situation. I'll just throw in some dummy keys and that should fix it, thanks for clarifying!
