Conclusion

Project Counter — free browser-based JavaScript (DOM) practice

■ What this exercise teaches ボタンクリックでカウントを1増やし、idが「count」の要素に表示してください。

Why it matters in real projects

状態を変数で持ち、イベントで更新して表示します。 Similar patterns appear daily in code review and production UI work.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Read the guide and understand the goal of "Project Counter" 2. Review the JavaScript (DOM) editor pane and start from the starter code 3. Open hints if stuck; compare your diff with the sample solution 4. Click Run and inspect preview/console output 5. Auto-check looks for output containing: addEventListener, textContent. 6. After success, continue with adjacent exercises in the same category

Core concept explained

状態を変数で持ち、イベントで更新して表示します。

Technical focus

Key JavaScript APIs: document.getElementById, addEventListener.

Hint before you peek at the solution

let count = 0; クリックで count++; element.textContent = count;

Sample solution walkthrough

JavaScript APIs used: document.getElementById, addEventListener. Verify spelling and async/await usage. Explanation: 状態を変数で持ち、イベントで更新して表示します。 Hint recap: let count = 0; クリックで count++; element.textContent = count;

Solution code

📝 Sample code
let count = 0;
document.getElementById('btn')?.addEventListener('click', () => {
  count++;
  const el = document.getElementById('count');
  if (el) el.textContent = count;
});

Common mistakes for this exact task

・Skipping the hint: let count = 0; クリックで count++; element.textContent = count; ・getElementById returns null if the id string differs by even one character

Troubleshooting

Q: Preview does not change after Run A: Ensure you edited the JavaScript (DOM) pane and clicked Run. Q: Looks correct but check fails A: Auto-check looks for output containing: addEventListener, textContent. Look for typos, full-width spaces, or unclosed tags. Q: Console shows errors A: Open DevTools Console and fix bracket/quote mismatches at the reported line. Q: Hard to type on mobile A: Use landscape mode or continue on desktop—the same URL keeps progress in localStorage.

Interview / portfolio tips

・Explain the techniques in "Project Counter" in your own words within 30 seconds ・Practice walking through each line of the sample solution on a whiteboard ・Connect this task to a real component you would ship ・Mention responsive or accessibility trade-offs ・Describe when you use: document.getElementById, addEventListener

Real-world & career relevance

Todo, counter, and timer apps are common live-coding tasks and strong portfolio pieces.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping the hint: let count = 0; クリックで count++; element.textContent = count;
  • getElementById returns null if the id string differs by even one character
  • Keeping state only in DOM
  • Double-binding event listeners
  • Storing secrets in localStorage

Troubleshooting

Preview does not change after Run
Ensure you edited the JavaScript (DOM) pane and clicked Run.
Looks correct but check fails
Auto-check looks for output containing: addEventListener, textContent. Look for typos, full-width spaces, or unclosed tags.
Console shows errors
Open DevTools Console and fix bracket/quote mismatches at the reported line.
Hard to type on mobile
Use landscape mode or continue on desktop—the same URL keeps progress in localStorage.
