JavaScript Project - Todo App

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a simple Todo App in JavaScript.

JavaScript Todo Application

Create a folder called todo-app as project workspace and we will create all the project files inside this folder.

1. index.html

Let's create index.html and add the following code to it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <title>ToDo App</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
        <script src="script.js" defer></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>todos</h1>
        <form id="form">
            <input
                type="text"
                id="input"
                class="input"
                placeholder="Enter your todo"
                autocomplete="off"
            />
            <ul class="todos" id="todos"></ul>
        </form>
        <small
            >Left click to toggle complete. <br />Right click to delete the
            todo.</small
        >
    </body>
</html>

2. script.js

Let's create JavaScript file named script.js and add following JavaScript code to it:
const form = document.getElementById("form");
const input = document.getElementById("input");
const todosUL = document.getElementById("todos");

const todos = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("todos"));

if (todos) {
    todos.forEach((todo) => {
        addTodo(todo);
    });
}

form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();

    addTodo();
});

function addTodo(todo) {
    let todoText = input.value;

    if (todo) {
        todoText = todo.text;
    }

    if (todoText) {
        const todoEl = document.createElement("li");
        if (todo && todo.completed) {
            todoEl.classList.add("completed");
        }

        todoEl.innerText = todoText;

        todoEl.addEventListener("click", () => {
            todoEl.classList.toggle("completed");

            updateLS();
        });

        todoEl.addEventListener("contextmenu", (e) => {
            e.preventDefault();

            todoEl.remove();

            updateLS();
        });

        todosUL.appendChild(todoEl);

        input.value = "";

        updateLS();
    }
}

function updateLS() {
    const todosEl = document.querySelectorAll("li");

    const todos = [];

    todosEl.forEach((todoEl) => {
        todos.push({
            text: todoEl.innerText,
            completed: todoEl.classList.contains("completed"),
        });
    });

    localStorage.setItem("todos", JSON.stringify(todos));
}

3. style.css

Let's create CSS file named style.css and add the following CSS code to it:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@200;400;600&display=swap");

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    color: #444;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    flex-direction: column;
    font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    min-height: 100vh;
}

h1 {
    color: rgb(179, 131, 226);
    font-size: 10rem;
    text-align: center;
    opacity: 0.4;
}

form {
    box-shadow: 0 4px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    max-width: 100%;
    width: 400px;
}

.input {
    border: none;
    color: #444;
    font-size: 2rem;
    padding: 1rem 2rem;
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
}

.input::placeholder {
    color: #d5d5d5;
}

.todos {
    background-color: #fff;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
}

.todos li {
    border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 1.5rem;
    padding: 1rem 2rem;
}

.todos li.completed {
    color: #b6b6b6;
    text-decoration: line-through;
}

small {
    color: #b5b5b5;
    margin-top: 3rem;
    text-align: center;
}
