How to relink a user (revoke) using the javascript api.

Hi Greg.

I will be very pleased if you can provide a working example of the revoke process.

The authenticate works fine using this code:

    var DROPBOX_APP_KEY = 'mydropboxappkey';
    var dbx = new Dropbox({clientId:DROPBOX_APP_KEY});
    dbx.authenticateWithCordova(
    function(accessToken)
    {

         //user is logged in
    });

but I can't get the revoke process work.
Maybe I just don't understand the basic use of the api.
I think there is a lack of real life code snippets.

I have tried something like

dbx.authTokenRevoke(arg).  

I don't understand what "arg" should be.
Should it be a function?


Cheers Erik

Here's an example of how this would work:

var dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: 'ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE' });

dbx.authTokenRevoke()
    .then(function(response) {
        // the access token for `dbx` has been revoked
        console.log("got authTokenRevoke response:");
        console.log(response);

        // this should fail now:
        dbx.usersGetCurrentAccount()
          .then(function(response) {
            console.log("got usersGetCurrentAccount response:");
            console.log(response);
          })
          .catch(function(error) {
            console.log("got usersGetCurrentAccount error:");
            console.log(error);
          });

    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log("got authTokenRevoke error:");
      console.log(error);
    });

   I think this works, right!

   var DROPBOX_APP_KEY = 'mydropboxappkey';
    var dbx = new Dropbox({clientId:DROPBOX_APP_KEY});
    dbx.authTokenRevoke(
    function()
    {

            
    });

But then I am still logged in until I restart my app.
Anything I can do to re-link without restarting my app? 

Ok. I can get the revoke working by using your code. But I have to restart my app to get the Dropbox login dialog.
If I run authenticateWithCordova right after revoke, I'm just logged in again without the need of writing my username and password.
Anything to do?

Many thanks for your answers and your efforts to help me.

But, it is not about the Dropbox website.

I have made a Cordova app using javascript.
When the app starts first time, the user is guided to log in to a Dropbox account.
To do that, I use 

    var DROPBOX_APP_KEY = 'mydropboxappkey';
    var dbx = new Dropbox({clientId:DROPBOX_APP_KEY});
    dbx.authenticateWithCordova(
    function(accessToken)
    {

         //user is logged in
    });

The Dropbox login dialog is displayed in the app and the users can write the username and password and get access to their Dropbox .
Works fine!

My problem is that I would like to give the users opportunity to logout and login to another Dropbox account.
I can run the "dbx.revoke", and it works. The user have no longer access to the Dropbox.

Now I run the "dbx.authenticateWithCordova" again.
This time the Dropbox login dialog is not displayed.
But the user is logged automatically to the same account, and are not able to write another username and password.
The only way I can get the login dialog is to restart the app.

I hope this is clear what the problem is.

So I tried sending the user to the logout page, but them logging in with a different profile doesn't seem to change which user is logged in with my javascript app. 

Is there no way to change the output of dbx.getAuthenticationUrl to give a web address that'll automatically log the user out?
