Picking up meteor.js user logout

Question

Is there any way to pick up when a user logs out of the website? I need to do some clean up when they do so. Using the built-in meteor.js user accounts.

We had a similar, though not exact requirement. We wanted to do a bit of clean up on the client when they signed out. We did it by hijacking Meteor.logout:

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  var _logout = Meteor.logout;
  Meteor.logout = function customLogout() {
    // Do your thing here
    _logout.apply(Meteor, arguments);
  }
}
