Build a Todo List Website

Introduction

Hello, developers! I'm thrilled to introduce my latest project: a Todo List application. This project is perfect for anyone looking to improve their JavaScript skills by working on a practical and widely-used tool. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, building a Todo List is a great way to learn about handling user input, managing data, and dynamically updating the DOM.

Project Overview

The Todo List application is a simple yet powerful tool that allows users to manage their tasks efficiently. It features an intuitive interface where users can add, edit, and delete tasks, mark them as completed, and filter tasks based on their status. This project is a great way to understand the core concepts of web development, including event handling and data persistence using localStorage.

Features

  • User-Friendly Interface: A clean and intuitive design that makes task management easy.
  • Add, Edit, and Delete Tasks: Fully functional controls to manage your tasks effectively.
  • Mark Tasks as Completed: Easily mark tasks as completed and filter them based on their status.
  • Persistent Data: All tasks are stored in localStorage, so your list remains intact even after refreshing the page.
  • Responsive Design: The layout is responsive and works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.

Technologies Used

  • HTML: Structures the web page and input elements.
  • CSS: Styles the interface to provide a user-friendly experience.
  • JavaScript: Handles the logic for adding, editing, deleting, and filtering tasks, as well as managing data in localStorage.

  3. Run the project:

    • Open the index.html file in your web browser to start using the Todo List application.

Usage

  1. Open the website in a web browser.
  2. Add a task by typing in the input field and pressing "Enter."
  3. Edit or delete tasks using the provided options.
  4. Mark tasks as completed by checking the corresponding checkbox.
  5. Filter tasks by their status using the filter options at the top of the list.
  6. Clear all tasks using the "Clear All" button to start fresh.

Code Explanation

HTML

The index.html file provides the structure for the Todo List application, including the input field for adding tasks, buttons for filtering tasks, and a list to display the tasks. Here’s a brief overview:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

        </div>

        <div class="controls">
          <div class="filters">
            <span id="all" class="active">All</span>
            <span id="pending">Pending</span>
            <span id="completed">Completed</span>
          </div>
          <button class="clear-btn">Clear All</button>
        </div>
        <ul class="task-box"></ul>

CSS

The styles.css file styles the Todo List application, ensuring a clean and responsive design. Here are some key styles:

JavaScript

The script.js file contains the logic for adding, editing, deleting, and filtering tasks. Here's an overview of the main functions:

const taskInput = document.querySelector(".task-input input"),
    filters = document.querySelectorAll(".filters span"),
    clearAll = document.querySelector(".clear-btn"),
    taskBox = document.querySelector(".task-box");

let editId,
    isEditTask = false,
    todos = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("todo-list"));

// Filter tasks based on status (all, completed, pending)
filters.forEach(btn => {
    btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
        document.querySelector("span.active").classList.remove("active");
        btn.classList.add("active");
        showTodo(btn.id);
    });
});

function showTodo(filter) {
    let liTag = "";
    if (todos) {
        todos.forEach((todo, id) => {
            let completed = todo.status == "completed" ? "checked" : "";
            if (filter == todo.status || filter == "all") {
                liTag += `<li class="task">
                    <label for="${id}">
                        <input onclick="updateStatus(this)" type="checkbox" id="${id}" ${completed}>
                        <p class="${completed}">${todo.name}</p>
                    </label>
                    <div class="settings">
                        <i onclick="showMenu(this)" class="uil uil-ellipsis-h"></i>
                        <ul class="task-menu">
                            <li onclick='editTask(${id}, "${todo.name}")'><i class="uil uil-pen"></i>Edit</li>
                            <li onclick='deleteTask(${id}, "${filter}")'><i class="uil uil-trash"></i>Delete</li>
                        </ul>
                    </div>
                </li>`;
            }
        });
    }

    taskBox.innerHTML = liTag || `<span>You don't have any task here</span>`;
    let checkTask = taskBox.querySelectorAll(".task");
    !checkTask.length ? clearAll.classList.remove("active") : clearAll.classList.add("active");
    taskBox.offsetHeight >= 300 ? taskBox.classList.add("overflow") : taskBox.classList.remove("overflow");
}

showTodo("all"); // Show all tasks by default

// Function to show the menu for task options
function showMenu(selectedTask) {
    let menuDiv = selectedTask.parentElement.lastElementChild;
    menuDiv.classList.add("show");
    document.addEventListener("click", e => {
        if (e.target.tagName != "I" || e.target != selectedTask) {
            menuDiv.classList.remove("show");
        }
    });
}

// Function to update the status of a task (completed or pending)
function updateStatus(selectedTask) {
    let taskName = selectedTask.parentElement.lastElementChild;
    if (selectedTask.checked) {
        taskName.classList.add("checked");
        todos[selectedTask.id].status = "completed";
    } else {
        taskName.classList.remove("checked");
        todos[selectedTask.id].status = "pending";
    }
    localStorage.setItem("todo-list", JSON.stringify(todos));
}

// Function to edit an existing task
function editTask(taskId, textName) {
    editId = taskId;
    isEditTask = true;
    taskInput.value = textName;
    taskInput.focus();
    taskInput.classList.add("active");
}

// Function to delete a task
function deleteTask(deleteId, filter) {
    isEditTask = false;
    todos.splice(deleteId, 1);
    localStorage.setItem("todo-list", JSON.stringify(todos));
    showTodo(filter);
}

// Clear all tasks
clearAll.addEventListener("click", () => {
    isEditTask = false;
    todos.splice(0, todos.length);
    localStorage.setItem("todo-list", JSON.stringify(todos));
    showTodo();
});

// Add a new task or update an existing one
taskInput.addEventListener("keyup", e => {
    let userTask = taskInput.value.trim();
    if (e.key == "Enter" && userTask) {
        if (!isEditTask) {
            todos = !todos ? [] : todos;
            let taskInfo = { name: userTask, status: "pending" };
            todos.push(taskInfo);
        } else {
            isEditTask = false;
            todos[editId].name = userTask;
        }
        taskInput.value = "";
        localStorage.setItem("todo-list", JSON.stringify(todos));
        showTodo(document.querySelector("span.active").id);
    }
});
