Introduction to To-Do List App

What is a To-Do List App?

To-Do List App is a user interface that lets users:

  • Add new tasks
  • View a list of current tasks
  • Remove tasks once completed

This kind of app mimics real-world task management tools and is perfect for beginners because it introduces core React concepts like:

  • Managing user input
  • Updating UI dynamically
  • Handling arrays in state
  • Basic event handling

In your app, every time the user types a task and clicks the “Add” button:

  • The task gets stored in a list (state)
  • The UI automatically updates to show the new task

Similarly, when a user clicks a delete button next to a task, that specific task is removed from the list. This app does not require a backend and stores everything in the browser's memory while it's running.

Aim of the Project

The main goal of this project is to teach you all about React fundamentals by building a functional and clean To-Do List application.

Here's what you'll accomplish step-by-step:

  • Understand how to manage form input using React’s useState hook.
  • Learn how to add tasks dynamically and store them in an array (React state).
  • Explore how React updates the UI when the state changes.
  • Implement the delete functionality for individual tasks using filter().
  • Use map() to render a dynamic list of React components (tasks).

By the end of the project, you will have:

  • A clean UI where users can input and manage their daily tasks.
  • A solid understanding of how components and state work together in React.
  • A deeper grasp of how to structure simple interactive web apps using JavaScript and React.
