Today you'll be creating a simple to do list application that will focus on DOM manipulation. Take a look at index.html and identify the DOM elements you'll need to manipulate before you write any code.

Check out the working demo

Instead of relying on unit tests, this lab is deliverable driven. You will be responsible for asserting your solution works as intended by testing the behavior visually in the browser.

1. Fork and clone this repository
2. Open index.html in Chrome (Tip: you can use open index.html in bash and, as long as Chrome is your default application for opening .html files, it will automatically open the file)
3. Put you JavaScript knowledge to the test and work your way through the deliverables

You've been provided with three JavaScript starter files: oo_index, task and taskList. As you build larger JS projects, structuring and separating your code will become more necessary. For this project we suggest implementing MVC architecture. However, you are free to structure your code however you want, with or without MVC or classes.

Your task file is your model. It is responsible for creating tasks and assigning attributes to them. Your view is your index.html. It contains the HTML template for our single-page application. The controller transfers information between the model and the view. TaskList is your controller. It puts information onto the DOM and can read information from it. Just like in Rails, your controller can read params and instantiate new objects which it will then render on the DOM.

• users should be able to type a task into the input field
• users should be able to click some form of a submit button
• the task string that the user provided should appear on the DOM after the submit button has been activated

Note: While the example shows one working application of TaskLister Lite™️, yours can (and is encouraged to!) look however you like.

If you finish early, try to implement one or more of the following:

• A delete function that will remove tasks from your list
• A priority value selected from a dropdown that is used to determine the color of the text in the list (e.g. red for high priority, yellow for medium, green for low)
  • As a challenge, implement a sorting functionality that displays the tasks ASC/DESC based on priority
• An additional input field (e.g. user, duration, date due)
• Ability to edit tasks
• Something of your choice! The main objective is to add a feature that allows the user's input to affect the DOM
