React Project —Todo Application

Up until now, our discussions have primarily revolved around theoretical concepts. In this lecture, Harkirat takes a practical approach by guiding us through the hands-on process of building a to-do application. We'll be applying the knowledge we've gained so far, specifically focusing on implementing the frontend using React and the backend using Node.js, MongoDB, and Express — creating a classic MERN stack application.

While there are no specific notes provided for this section, a mini guide is outlined below to assist you in navigating through the process of building the application. Therefore, it is strongly advised to actively follow along during the lecture for a hands-on learning experience.

Building a MERN Stack Todo Application with Zod

1] Environment Setup

• Install Node.js and npm on your machine.
• Set up a new React project using Vite: npm create vite@latest.
• Create a new Node.js project for the backend.

2] Frontend Development (React)

• Design the UI structure for your to-do app.
• Create React components for adding, displaying, and deleting todos.
• Utilize React Hooks (useState, useEffect) for managing the frontend state.
• Set up a clean and user-friendly interface for a seamless user experience.
