Build Your Own Grocery List: A Simple CRUD Application in JavaScript

A step-by-step guide to creating a user-friendly grocery list

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a grocery list application using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. The application will allow users to add, read, update, and delete items from their grocery list.

Here is a preview of what we are building:

Step 1: Setting up the HTML Structure

To start, let’s set up the basic HTML structure for our grocery list application.

<div class="container">
  <h1>Grocery List</h1>
  <input type="text" id="itemInput" placeholder="Enter an item">
  <button onclick="addItem()">Add Item</button>
  <ul id="itemList"></ul>
</div>

In the above code, we have a container div that holds the grocery list interface. It consists of a heading, an input field for users to enter items, a button to add items, and an unordered list (ul) to display the items.
