Learn how to build a todo list app using Next.js and React Hooks, and understand how to manage state and side effects.

Introduction to React Hooks

React Hooks are a way to use state and other React features in functional components. In this tutorial, we will build a todo list app using Next.js and React Hooks.

Step 1: Creating the Todo List Component

Let's create a new component called TodoList.js in the components directory:

// components/TodoList.js
import { useState } from 'react';

function TodoList() {
  const [todos, setTodos] = useState([]);
  const [newTodo, setNewTodo] = useState('');

const handleAddTodo = () => {
    setTodos([...todos, newTodo]);
    setNewTodo('');
  };

return (
    <div>
      <input type='text' value={newTodo} onChange={(e) => setNewTodo(e.target.value)} />
      <button onClick={handleAddTodo}>Add Todo</button>
      <ul>
        {todos.map((todo, index) => (
          <li key={index}>{todo}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
}

export default TodoList;

Step 2: Integrating the Todo List Component with Next.js

Let's create a new page called todo.js in the pages directory and integrate the TodoList component:

// pages/todo.js
import TodoList from '../components/TodoList';

function Todo() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Todo List</h1>
      <TodoList />
    </div>
  );
}

export default Todo;

Step 3: Running the Application

To run the application, navigate to the project directory and use the following command:

npm run dev

This will start the development server, and you can access your todo list app at http://localhost:3000/todo.
