How It's Made

HTML, CSS, JavaScript

This application was built using functional programming primarily in Javascript styling in CSS and markup with HTML.

Lessons Learned/Future Enhancements

Storing arrays and objects in local storage ended up being much more difficult than storing the HTML table directly. This is due to the complexity of creating a HTML table from a data list. This requires reactivating the event listeners in the table each time it is placed into the DOM. If this project is extended to include more features, the backend would need to be updated to store the list data as an array or as objects.
