This is my Todo script. It's working well.

I'm looking for feedback on what I've done well, and what I could have done better.

todos = {
  // It needs to store todos
  todos: [],
  // Settings
  settings: {
    quickDelete: false
  },
  // Target container
  targetElement: document.getElementById("todos"),
  // Input txt box
  inputBox: document.getElementById("todo_input"),
  // Priority checkboxes - returns checked radio element
  priorityCheck: function() {
    var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('INPUT');
    var filtered;
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(inputs, function(input) {
      if (input.type === "radio" && input.checked === true) {
        filtered = input;
      }
    });
    return filtered;
  },
  // Input button
  inputButton: document.getElementById("add_edit_button"),
  // Input label
  label: document.getElementById("add_edit_label"),

  // TOOLS
  // Grammar tools
  grammar: {
    fullStop: function(string) {
      if (string.slice(-1) === ".") {
        return string;
      } else {
        return string + ".";
      }
    },
    capitalise: function(string) {
      var character = string.slice(0, 1);
      if (character === character.toUpperCase()) {
        return string;
      } else {
        return string.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
      }
    }
  },
  // Create date string from date object

  • \$\begingroup\$ Hello konijn. Thank you. I have added the HTML and CSS to make it work in code snippit. I don't know why it's throwing up a security error, but the script is working now. The working script with no error can be seen where it is hosted also. willstodos.1mb.site \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$
  • You are missing a number of semicolons (ordinalInd = "rd")
  • todos is global (missing var/let/const)
  • Having a variable called todos with a property called todos looks odd, perhaps call the top variable app or widget?
  • Too many comments are superfluous like

    // Settings
    settings: {
    

    or

    // Input button
    inputButton: document.getElementById("add_edit_button"),
    
  • (string.endsWith('.')) is more readable than (string.slice(-1) === ".")
  • Consider Spartan naming, s for string, c for char, i for integer
  • Leverage the fact that .complete is a boolean

    toggleTodo: function(todoIndex) {
        this.todos[todoIndex].complete = !this.todos[todoIndex].complete
        this.displayTodos();
    },
    
  • Consider Array.filter for deleteComplete
  • Avoid console.log in production code
  • I prefer to keep templates like <tr class='list_tr'><th></th><th>Todo</th><th>Creation Date</th><th>Priority</th><th>Toggle Done</th><th>Delete</th><th>Edit</th></tr> outside of JavaScript, and hidden in the body
  • Consider reading up on MVC to make the separation between data, view and controller cleaner

  • Stick to one naming style in HTML (new_todos vs quickTools), I would stick to lowerCamelCase

  • Don't wire your listeners in your HTML, wire them from within your JavaScript

All in all, this code looks good.

\$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Thank you for your excellent feedback Konijn. I really appreciate your taking the time to review my script and offer good advice. I will adopt all the points you have made, as they all make a lot of sense - I didn't even know about .endWith(), that's extremely useful! You are a credit to Stack Exchange. \$\endgroup\$
