In this article, we will demonstrate the creation of a basic expense tracker web page using JavaScript. An Expense Tracker can be useful in keeping a record of the expenditure, you can maintain a list of expenses along with individual and total amounts. Just enter a name and amount and you can store all data together. Also, there exists a summary of total income, expenses, and the remaining balance.
On completion, the expense tracker will look like the following image:
Prerequisites:
Approach:
- Create an HTML structure for the expense tracker with an HTML table for showing expenses and input, a button for accepting user input, and using div & span along with relevant class names.
- Design the structure with CSS properties like display type for items layout, width, margins, padding for spaces, box shadow for card type view, background color, font size, font weight, etc. for elements Classes and IDs.
- In JavaScript, define an addItem() function that triggers on click event and involves HTML DOM method document.getElementById() to access the input.
- Also, define a function loadItems() that takes in expense component as input and uses HTML DOM table methods to show them to the User Interface.
- You can also have a pre-listed expanses array which can be displayed using the array.map method.
Example: This example illustrates the basic expanse tracker using Javascript.
