Verify the Persistence Flow

Verify the Persistence Flow

Persistence is easiest to trust when you test the complete loop rather than only checking one localStorage call.

Run this sequence:

  1. Start with the board loaded.
  2. Add a task and give it a different status.
  3. Refresh the page.
  4. Delete one of the original tasks.
  5. Refresh again.
  6. Drag a task into another column.
  7. Refresh once more.

The board should always reflect the latest saved state.

Keep the responsibilities clear

The final flow should look like this:

text
localStorage → initial React state
React state → rendered components
user action → setTasks(...)
updated tasks → localStorage

The components still render from tasks. Storage simply restores and remembers that state.

Checkpoint

If all three main actions—create, delete, and move—survive a refresh, persistence is complete and the project is ready for final verification.
