As a modern-age web developer, JavaScript is an essential part of your toolkit, and what better way to strengthen your skills than by building real projects with raw Vanilla JS?
I created a playlist called “7 Useful JS Projects,” featuring practical challenges that will help you grasp JavaScript fundamentals while building something useful. Whether you’re a beginner looking to practice or an intermediate dev sharpening your skills, these projects offer great practice and learning opportunities.
Features:
- Hands-on Learning: Build real and useful projects to reinforce JavaScript concepts.
- Vanilla JS Focus: Master core JavaScript without relying on frameworks.
- Diverse Skill Set: Cover API integration, DOM manipulation, CRUD operations, and more.
- Portfolio Enhancement: Add seven impressive projects to showcase your abilities.
- Practical Application: Learn techniques applicable to real development scenarios.
Here you go!
1. New Year Countdown:
A countdown timer that dynamically updates for upcoming New Year’s Eve!
2. GitHub Profile Search:
Fetch user data from the GitHub API and display profile information like followers, repositories, and more. This is a simple way to kickstart API handling.
3. BMI Calculator:
Develop a BMI calculator that takes user inputs (weight and height) and computes the Body Mass Index.
4. Password Generator:
Create a tool that generates secure, random passwords based on user criteria like length and character types.
5. Lyric Searcher:
Implement a lyrics search feature by integrating with a lyrics API. It’s a fun way to practice API requests, especially handling search queries.
6. Typing Speed and Accuracy Checker:
Measure typing speed with real-time feedback on words per minute (WPM). This project helps refine skills around timing functions and event listeners.
7. ToDo App:
Build a classic to-do list where users can add, delete, and manage tasks. It’s a simple but powerful project to master CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
Each project was selected for its relevance and practical use in everyday web development, and all are created with plain Vanilla JS—no frameworks, just pure JavaScript. By the end of this series, you’ll have polished your skills and built a foundation to tackle even more complex projects in the future.
