Creating a to-do in React appears simple. However, as you introduce add on features, it opens a whole new door to explore and understand concepts. Here's how this project can enhance your understanding.

โœ… ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž: Break tasks into manageable chunks with reusable components.
โœ… ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฌ & ๐ƒ๐š๐ญ๐š ๐…๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ: Pass data seamlessly between parent and child components.
โœ… ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‘๐ž๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ : Show or render components based on a condition ( example of to do: If the edit mode is on then place an input field).
โœ… ๐„๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐‡๐š๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  : Understand how to handle clicks, typing, and more. On delete button click how can you delete the to-do?
โœ… ๐‘๐ž๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ฌ: Understand when to use useState and useEffect.

Once you've built a basic to-do application, it's time to level up by adding features that make your app more robust and user-friendly.

โœ… ๐ˆ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐‹๐จ๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐’๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ ๐ž: With every change in the to-dos store the input into a local storage. Use useEffect to update the local storage.
โœ… ๐ˆ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐€๐๐ˆ: To avoid prop drilling if any and manage state more effectively, implement the React Context API. Understanding Context API solidifies your base.
โœ… ๐Ž๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐‘๐ž๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ซ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ: As your application grows, you might notice unnecessary re-renders, especially when working with multiple components and features. Libraries like Recoil, Redux, or Zustand can help manage state efficiently and prevent re-renders.

By adding these features, you're not only enhancing functionality but also learning critical concepts like local storage, context-based state management, and optimising rendering behaviour, which are essential for building scalable React applications.
