#[Middleware(RedirectIfAuthenticated::class, 'sanctum', except: 'logout')]
class AuthController extends Controller
{
    public function register()
    {
    }
    
    public function login()
    {
    }
    
    #[Middleware(Authenticate::class, 'sanctum')]
    public function logout()
    {
    }
}
