Daily Activity Planner App with Next.js

Last Updated : 14 Mar, 2024

Managing your tasks is one of the most important things in a hectic routine. In this article, we will see step-by-step procedure of creating a task manager app from scratch.

Output Preview: Let us have a look at how the final output will look like.

Prerequisites :

Approach to create Daily Activity Planner:

State Management: For efficient task and input field handling, use useState.
Input Handling: Put in place handlers for the name, priority, and deadline of each task.
Task Functions: Task operations are managed by functions such as addTask, EditTask, DeleteTask, and markDone.
Improve user experience (UX) by using filtered tasks to effortlessly filter tasks according to user-specified requirements.

Steps to create the Next JS Application:

Step 1: Create a new Next.js project using the following command

npx create-next-app task-manager-app

Step 2: Change to the project directory:

cd task-manager-app

Project Structure:

The updated Dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
    "react": "^18",
    "react-dom": "^18",
    "next": "14.1.0"
}

Example: Create the required files as seen on folder structure and paste the code components as per the structure.
