Building A To-Do List with Blitz.js & Redis

Blitz.js, initially a fork of Next.js, is utilized to build a To-Do application that stores tasks in Upstash, a cloud-based Redis database. The process involves setting up the Blitz.js environment by installing necessary packages like TailwindCSS for styling and the Upstash JS SDK for API interaction. The application includes user authentication, allowing each user to have a private To-Do list, and involves creating API routes to add, retrieve, and remove To-Dos from the Redis database. The frontend is constructed using React Hooks and employs the Blitz.js framework's unique features like antiCSRF tokens to secure API requests. The main component, <Main/>, initializes the application's state, manages To-Do entries, and dynamically updates the UI based on user interactions. Users must be logged in to access the To-Do functionalities, and the application provides a user-friendly interface to manage tasks effectively. Blitz.js is evolving from its roots in Next.js, potentially leading to significant changes in the future, and the blog offers resources for further exploration and engagement with the community.
