Save Every Task Change
Save Every Task Change
Loading data is only half of persistence. Save the task array whenever a user changes it.
Add saveTasks() after each of these operations:
Adding
tasks.unshift(newTask);
saveTasks();
renderTasks();
Completing or reopening
task.completed = !task.completed;
saveTasks();
renderTasks();
Editing
task.title = title;
task.due = due;
task.priority = priority;
saveTasks();
renderTasks();
Deleting
tasks = tasks.filter((item) => item.id !== taskId);
saveTasks();
renderTasks();
The exact placement can vary with your existing functions. The important rule is simple: after the task data changes, save the current array.
Checkpoint: Add, complete, edit, and delete a task, refresh the page, and confirm that each change remains.
