Conclusion of the Project

Conclusion

You’ve officially built and deployed your very own React To-Do List App — a fully interactive task manager that users can use to add, edit, complete, and delete their daily goals.

This module wraps up everything you’ve learned, includes a few quick quiz questions to test your understanding, provides the live demo, and shares resources for your continued React learning journey.

Learning Outcomes

By completing this hands-on project, you’ve gained practical experience with the core building blocks of React development. Here's what you’ve learned:

Set up the React development environment

  • Installed Node.js and npm
  • Initialized your app using Create React App
  • Structured your project directory

Built a functional UI using React

  • Used JSX to write HTML-like syntax within JavaScript
  • Designed a clean, modern interface using CSS

Managed dynamic data with React hooks

  • Implemented the useState() hook to store and update to-do items
  • Handled input, checkbox toggling, editing, and deleting through state

Handled user interactions

  • Captured text input from the user
  • Handled click events for adding/editing/removing tasks
  • Updated the visual appearance (strikethrough, color change) based on task completion

Deployed your React app

  • Used Netlify to host your site for free
  • Generated a live URL that anyone can visit

All of this was done without using any backend or database, showing how powerful React can be for front-end only apps.
