Build A Counter Using JavaScript – JavaScript Project
You will know how to develop a counter and write conditions that adjust the color depending on whether positive or negative numbers are displayed in this js project. We will use HTML, CSS & JavaScript to create this project.
You may use this simple counter in future projects, such as a pomodoro clock, and this project will give you additional experience working with the DOM.
JavaScript Fundamentals will be covered in this project:
- document.querySelectorAll()
- forEach()
- addEventListener()
- currentTarget property
- classList
- textContent

}We know, you can copy the code from here. But if you want to support us, then you can buy the code from here. It will help us to share more free resources.
JavaScript:
// set inital value to zero
let count = 0;
// select value and buttons
const value = document.querySelector("#value");
const btns = document.querySelectorAll(".btn");
btns.forEach(function (btn) {
btn.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
const styles = e.currentTarget.classList;
if (styles.contains("decrease")) {
count--;
} else if (styles.contains("increase")) {
count++;
} else {
count = 0;
}
if (count > 0) {
value.style.color = "green";
}
if (count < 0) {
value.style.color = "red";
}
if (count === 0) {
value.style.color = "#222";
}
value.textContent = count;
});
