Logging out via a link in Laravel

When you run php artisan make:auth, the default app.php in Laravel 5.5 does it like this:

<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43087648/{{ route("logout') }}" onclick="event.preventDefault(); document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
    Logout
</a>

<form id="logout-form" action="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43087648/{{ route("logout') }}" method="POST" style="display: none;">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
</form>
