Build a Task Management CLI Mini Project

Create a simple command-line task manager in JavaScript that allows users to add, remove, list, and mark tasks as complete. This mini-project will help you practice array manipulation, object handling, and implementing multi-step logic.

Challenge prompt

Write a JavaScript function 'taskManager' that returns an object with methods to manage a list of tasks. The task manager should support the following methods: addTask(description), removeTask(index), markComplete(index), and listTasks(). Tasks should be stored as objects with properties: id, description, and completed (boolean). The listTasks method should output all tasks showing their id, description, and status (Completed or Pending). Ensure the task ids increment automatically starting from 1.

Guidance

• Use an array to store the tasks inside your task manager object.
• Each task should be an object with id, description, and completed properties.
• Increment task ids automatically as new tasks are added.
• Update the completed property when marking a task as complete.

Hints

• Use closures to keep the task list private within the taskManager function.
• Remember array methods like push(), splice(), and map() for managing tasks.
• Format the output of listTasks for clear readability.

Starter code

function taskManager() {
  // Your code here
}

const manager = taskManager();
manager.addTask('Finish homework');
manager.addTask('Clean room');
manager.listTasks();

Expected output

1. Finish homework - Pending 2. Clean room - Pending
