Collaborative To-do List

As users edit the list, changes will be automatically persisted and synced—allowing for a list that updates in realtime across clients. Users will also be able to see who else is currently online and when a user is typing.

Getting started

Run the following command to try this example locally:

$npx create-liveblocks-app@latest --example javascript-todo-list --no-api-key --no-vercel

This will download the example and install the example. Next, you must:

• Create an account on liveblocks.io
• Copy your public key from the dashboard
• Replace pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY in app.js with your public key
• Run npm run build and open static/index.html in your browser

Manual setup

Alternatively, you can set up your project manually:

• Install all dependencies with npm install
• Create an account on liveblocks.io
• Copy your public key from the dashboard
• Replace pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY in app.js with your public key
• Run npm run build and open static/index.html in your browser

Deploy on Vercel

To both deploy on Vercel, and run the example locally, use the following command:

$npx create-liveblocks-app@latest --example javascript-todo-list --vercel

This will download the example and ask permission to open your browser, enabling you to deploy to Vercel. Next, you must:

• Create an account on liveblocks.io
• Copy your public key from the dashboard
• Replace pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY in app.js with your public key
• Push a commit to update the Vercel demo with the key
• Run npm run build and open static/index.html in your browser

Develop on CodeSandbox

After forking this example on CodeSandbox, create the pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY environment variable as a public.
