I am going to make this week’s post short, as I had very little free time this week and also had an issue with my laptop. Hopefully, I will make a more comprehensive post next week

Things I've worked on/completed since my last post…

To-do project (local storage).

Note: I haven’t actually been working on local storage as such - I was still restructuring my code to make everything run from my data object (my initial structure did have a data object, but the DOM was being built from an array of DOM elements ,which, looking back on it, I am not sure why I approached it this way).

Issues I had…

My numbering system for matching individual tasks to edit/delete buttons was a bit ‘all over the place’ and I think I had reset some number counts in my previous code (particularly when changing between projects). When restructuring this time, I thought I should really have unique IDs for tasks and delete/edit IDs, which would correspond to each other. I guess that I saw the mistakes in my previous set-up through trial and error.

Things that went well...

For reasons I don’t quite remember now, I struggled to get the task IDs in my data object to correspond to the delete and edit IDs in my DOM code, but yesterday, I fired up the laptop and immediately saw how I could fix it by linking the taskID and edit/delete IDs directly. I cannot quite explain why I was so slow to see this, but I’m just grateful that it worked.

Things I've learnt/need to improve on...

I hope that I will be able to anticipate how to set up data objects more efficiently in subsequent projects.

Plan for the forthcoming week...

Now that my data object/code has been reworked to align with local storage (meaning, I can associate my data object with local storage in the right format), I will be going back to trying to implement local storage tomorrow. Another step closer…

Editing and deleting: rewiring To-do...
