The Todo application is a React-based task manager that allows users to add, update, and delete todo items. It utilizes Redux for state management to keep track of todos and their actions. This document provides a comprehensive breakdown of the application's code, its components, and its workflow.
The AddTodo
component provides a form interface for users to either add a new todo item or update an existing one. It manages user input and communicates with Redux to perform these actions.
-
Props Initialization:
editMode
: Boolean prop indicating whether the form is in edit mode.editTodo
: Object containing the details of the todo item currently being edited (if any).cancelEdit
: Function prop to reset the editing state and clear the input field.
-
State Management:
input
: State variable to store the current value of the input field. It is initialized toeditTodo.text
ifeditMode
is true, allowing the form to be pre-populated with the todo's current text.
-
Input Handling:
onChange
Event: Updates theinput
state as the user types into the input field. This ensures that the state reflects the current value of the field.
-
Form Submission (
addOrUpdateTodoHandler
):- Prevent Default Behavior: The form submission event's default behavior is prevented to avoid page reloads.
- Edit Mode Check:
- If
editMode
is true, dispatch theupdateTodo
action to update the existing todo in the Redux store. Pass theid

editMode
is false, dispatch theaddTodo
action to add a new todo item with the text from the input field.

state to an empty string.
-
Auto Focus:
autoFocus
Attribute: The input field gains focus automatically wheneditMode
is true, improving the user experience by allowing users to immediately start editing.
The Todo
component displays the list of todo items and provides options to update or delete each item. It uses Redux to interact with the application's state.
