Svelte Todo List - Implementation Plan
Execute this plan using the superpowers:subagent-driven-development skill.
Context
Building a todo list app with Svelte. See design.md for full specification.
Tasks
Task 1: Project Setup
Create the Svelte project with Vite.
Do:
- Run
npm create vite@latest . -- --template svelte-ts
- Install dependencies with
npm install
- Verify dev server works
- Clean up default Vite template content from App.svelte
Verify:
npm run dev starts server
- App shows minimal "Svelte Todos" heading
npm run build succeeds
Task 2: Todo Store
Create the Svelte store for todo state management.
Do:
- Create
src/lib/store.ts
- Define
Todo interface with id, text, completed
- Create writable store with initial empty array
- Export functions:
addTodo(text), toggleTodo(id), deleteTodo(id), clearCompleted()
- Create
src/lib/store.test.ts with tests for each function
Verify:
- Tests pass:
npm run test (install vitest if needed)
Task 3: localStorage Persistence
Add persistence layer for todos.
Do:
- Create
src/lib/storage.ts
- Implement
loadTodos(): Todo[] and saveTodos(todos: Todo[])
- Handle JSON parse errors gracefully (return empty array)
- Integrate with store: load on init, save on change
- Add tests for load/save/error handling
Verify:
- Tests pass
- Manual test: add todo, refresh page, todo persists
Task 4: TodoInput Component
Create the input component for adding todos.
Do:
- Create
src/lib/TodoInput.svelte
- Text input bound to local state
- Add button calls
addTodo() and clears input
- Enter key also submits
- Disable Add button when input is empty
- Add component tests
Verify:
- Tests pass
- Component renders input and button
Task 5: TodoItem Component
Create the single todo item component.
Do:
- Create
src/lib/TodoItem.svelte
- Props:
todo: Todo
- Checkbox toggles completion (calls
toggleTodo)
- Text with strikethrough when completed
- Delete button (X) calls
deleteTodo
- Add component tests
Verify:
- Tests pass
- Component renders checkbox, text, delete button
Task 6: TodoList Component
Create the list container component.
Do:
- Create
src/lib/TodoList.svelte
- Props:
todos: Todo[]
- Renders TodoItem for each todo
- Shows "No todos yet" when empty
- Add component tests
Verify:
- Tests pass
- Component renders list of TodoItems
Task 7: FilterBar Component
Create the filter and status bar component.
Do:
- Create
src/lib/FilterBar.svelte
- Props:
todos: Todo[], filter: Filter, onFilterChange: (f: Filter) => void
- Show count: "X items left" (incomplete count)
- Three filter buttons: All, Active, Completed
- Active filter is visually highlighted
- "Clear completed" button (hidden when no completed todos)
- Add component tests
Verify:
- Tests pass
- Component renders count, filters, clear button
Task 8: App Integration
Wire all components together in App.svelte.
Do:
- Import all components and store
- Add filter state (default: 'all')
- Compute filtered todos based on filter state
- Render: heading, TodoInput, TodoList, FilterBar
- Pass appropriate props to each component
Verify:
- App renders all components
- Adding todos works
- Toggling works
- Deleting works
Task 9: Filter Functionality
Ensure filtering works end-to-end.
Do:
- Verify filter buttons change displayed todos
- 'all' shows all todos
- 'active' shows only incomplete todos
- 'completed' shows only completed todos
- Clear completed removes completed todos and resets filter if needed
- Add integration tests
Verify:
- Filter tests pass
- Manual verification of all filter states
Task 10: Styling and Polish
Add CSS styling for usability.
Do:
- Style the app to match the design mockup
- Completed todos have strikethrough and muted color
- Active filter button is highlighted
- Input has focus styles
- Delete button appears on hover (or always on mobile)
- Responsive layout
Verify:
- App is visually usable
- Styles don't break functionality
Task 11: End-to-End Tests
Add Playwright tests for full user flows.
Do:
- Install Playwright:
npm init playwright@latest
- Create
tests/todo.spec.ts
- Test flows:
- Add a todo
- Complete a todo
- Delete a todo
- Filter todos
- Clear completed
- Persistence (add, reload, verify)
Verify:
npx playwright test passes
Task 12: README
Document the project.
Do:
- Create
README.md with:
- Project description
- Setup:
npm install
- Development:
npm run dev
- Testing:
npm test and npx playwright test
- Build:
npm run build
Verify:
- README accurately describes the project
- Instructions work
