Building a ToDo Application in React Js/Next Js with tailwindcss

Creating a ToDo application with React Js/Next Js and tailwindcss is a great way to learn and practice your skills in building interactive web applications. In this article, we will walk through the process of building a simple ToDo application using these technologies.

Setting up the project

First, we need to set up a new project using create-react-app or Next Js. Once the project is set up, we can install tailwindcss using npm or yarn.


npm install tailwindcss


After installing tailwindcss, we need to add the necessary configuration files and import tailwindcss styles into our project. This can be done by following the documentation provided on the tailwindcss website.

Creating the ToDo component

Once our project is set up and tailwindcss is installed, we can start building the ToDo application by creating a new component called ‘ToDo’.


import React, { useState } from 'react';

const ToDo = () => {
const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([]);

const addTask = (newTask) => {
setTasks([...tasks, newTask]);
}

const removeTask = (index) => {
const updatedTasks = tasks.filter((task, i) => i !== index);
setTasks(updatedTasks);
}

return (

ToDo Application

addTask('New Task')}>Add Task

{tasks.map((task, index) => (
• {task}
  removeTask(index)}>Remove

))}

);
}

export default ToDo;


In the above code, we have created a ToDo component that maintains a list of tasks in its state. It provides a form to add a new task and a list of tasks with the option to remove each task.

Styling the ToDo component with tailwindcss

Now that we have our ToDo component, we can apply tailwindcss styles to make it visually appealing. We can use the tailwindcss utility classes to add styles to our HTML elements.

ToDo Application

addTask('New Task')}>Add Task

{tasks.map((task, index) => (
• {task}
  removeTask(index)}>Remove

))}

In the above code, we have used various tailwindcss utility classes to style our ToDo component. We have applied background color, padding, margin, border, and text styles to create a visually appealing interface for our ToDo application.

Conclusion

By building a ToDo application in React Js/Next Js with tailwindcss, we have learned how to create interactive web applications using modern front-end technologies. We have also demonstrated the power of tailwindcss in easily applying styles to our HTML elements.

We hope this article has provided you with a good starting point for building your own ToDo application and has inspired you to explore the capabilities of React Js/Next Js and tailwindcss further.
