Basic Features and Concepts for a Todo App

Basic Features to Implement:

1. Add Tasks

- Users can type a task into an input field and click "Add" to see it appear in a list.

2. Display Tasks

- Dynamically show all tasks on the screen in a neat list.

3. Delete Tasks

- Add a delete button next to each task that removes it when clicked.

4. Mark Tasks as Completed

- Allow users to mark tasks as "done" (e.g., strike through text or change color).

5. Clear All Tasks (Optional)

- Add a button to remove all tasks from the list at once.

Key JavaScript Concepts to Focus On:

1. DOM Manipulation

- Learn how to select and update elements on the page.

- Methods to master:

- document.querySelector()

- document.createElement()

- element.appendChild()

- element.innerHTML or element.textContent
2. Event Listeners

- Understand how to respond to user actions like clicks or form submissions.

- Method to master: addEventListener()

Example events:

- click (e.g., when a button is pressed)

- submit (e.g., when the form is submitted)

3. Array Basics

- Use arrays to store the list of tasks in memory.

- Methods to master:

- push() (add a task)

- splice() (remove a task)

- map() or forEach() (iterate through tasks)

4. Conditional Logic

- Use if statements to check conditions (e.g., is the input empty?).

5. Loops

- Use loops (e.g., for or forEach) to display tasks or perform actions on them.

6. Functions

- Break your code into reusable functions (e.g., a function to create and display a task).

7. Form Handling

- Learn how to get user input from a form and clear it afterward.
Suggested Workflow:

1. Start Simple

- Create a basic HTML structure with an input, button, and empty list.

2. Build Incrementally

- First, focus on adding and displaying tasks.

- Next, implement task deletion.

- Finally, allow marking tasks as completed.

3. Practice Debugging

- Use console.log() to check values and understand how your code works step by step.

What to Avoid for Now:

- Do not worry about advanced topics like local storage, animations, or APIs.

- Keep your code simple and focus on understanding how JavaScript interacts with the DOM.
