The DOM and an interactive transaction form

Intermediate~35 min0/4 steps

Let a person use the ledger

The DOM is the browser's object model for the page. JavaScript can listen for a form submission, read its fields, update application state, and render the new result.

This is the turning point: Smart Ledger stops being a script and becomes an application.

Instructions

Select the form and list with querySelector.

Hint: document.querySelector('#transaction-form')

Where does this go?

// Listen for submit, prevent the refresh, push an object, and render.

Write it on line 6 — under that comment, after the code you already added.

Create renderTransactions and render array items with map.

Listen for submit and call preventDefault.

Push a transaction object and render again.
