Build a To-Do List with Vanilla JavaScript
Build a complete, polished To-Do List application step by step using a prepared UI and vanilla JavaScript. Add tasks, editing, filtering, search, sorting, persistence, custom modals, drag and drop, import and export, and dark mode.
Welcome to a practical, step-by-step project where you’ll turn a prepared To-Do List interface into a complete working application.
⚠️ Prerequisite: You should already be comfortable with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This course focuses on building the application step by step rather than teaching JavaScript fundamentals.
Course Preview
Here is the finished To-Do List interface you will build throughout the course:
Why This Course?
Instead of starting with an empty page and spending the course building the visual design, you’ll begin with a prepared UI. That lets us spend our time turning the interface into a real application.
You will work through the project feature by feature, testing the application after each stage and keeping the codebase in a working state as it grows.
What Makes It Different
- The visual styling is prepared for you so the course can stay focused on application functionality.
- Every lesson makes a concrete change to the same project.
- Instructions are practical and implementation-focused rather than theory-heavy.
- The application grows progressively from a static interface into a complete To-Do List.
- Each stage includes a simple checkpoint so you can verify your work before continuing.
Learning Format
The course is organized as a project walkthrough. Each module adds a group of related features, and each lesson gives you the exact files and changes needed for the next step.
You will start with the prepared project, then progressively add task creation, completion, deletion, editing, task details, filters, search, sorting, localStorage, custom modals, drag and drop, import/export, dark mode, and final polish.
Final Outcome
By the end of the course, you will have a polished vanilla JavaScript To-Do List application that stores its data locally and supports the full set of features built throughout the course. You will also have a complete project you can continue extending on your own.
