Building a Simple Todo App with React, Tailwind CSS & Vite JS

In this tutorial, we will be building a simple todo app using React, Tailwind CSS, and Vite JS. We will go through the steps to create a basic todo list application with the ability to add, edit, and delete tasks.

Step 1: Setting Up the Project

First, we need to create a new project using Vite JS. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

npx create-vite my-todo-app --template react

Step 2: Installing Tailwind CSS

Next, we will install Tailwind CSS by running the following commands in your terminal:

cd my-todo-app
npm install tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest

Step 3: Configuring Tailwind CSS

We will create a Tailwind CSS configuration file by running the following command:

npx tailwindcss init -p

Step 4: Creating the Todo App

Now, we can start building our todo app by creating components for the todo list, todo item, and form to add new tasks. We will use React hooks to manage the state of the tasks and update the list as tasks are added, edited, or deleted.

Step 5: Styling with Tailwind CSS

We will use Tailwind CSS utility classes to style our todo app. You can customize the styles by editing the tailwind.config.js file and adding your own classes.

Step 6: Running the App

Finally, we can run our todo app by running the following command in your terminal:

npm run dev

That’s it! You have now built a simple todo app using React, Tailwind CSS, and Vite JS. You can continue to customize and add more features to your todo list application.
