Building a Todo Application Index File with TypeScript, ReactJS, Recoil, and Chakra-UI

Introduction

Building a Todo application is a logical way to delve into the world of modern web development. In this guide, we’ll focus on the pivotal index file of your Todo app, exploring how to construct it using a powerful tech stack: GatsbyJS, TypeScript, ReactJS, Recoil, and Chakra-UI.

Click here to find out what you will be building.

Now, let’s dive in! 🤿

Create a Gatsby Site:

npm install -g gatsby-cli
gatsby new todo-app
cd todo-app

Install Dependencies

You will need the following dependencies installed:

npm install gatsby react react-dom @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled recoil

Configure the Index File

Navigate to src/pages/index.tsx and set up your index file like so:

import * as React from 'react';
import { RecoilRoot } from 'recoil';
import { ChakraProvider } from '@chakra-ui/react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import ContentPage from '../content-apps/to-do';

const Root = () => (
  <RecoilRoot>
    <ChakraProvider>
      <ContentPage />
    </ChakraProvider>
  </RecoilRoot>
);

render(<Root />, document.getElementById('root'));

And Inside The ContentPage Component

You will need the following code placed inside the src/content-apps/to-do/index.tsx file:

import React from 'react';
//  local components
import TodoList from './components/to-do-list';

const ContentRecoilToDo = () => {
  return <TodoList />;
};

export default ContentRecoilToDo;

What Now?
