I am trying to make a todo list app which will create a Todo task appear when I click a plus button and disappear when I click the remove icon on the task. this code does that but the changes are not done in real time. a task will be added after I click the pulse button only if I save my code and run it, not as soon as I press it.

I will be better to include dataType on list. Check the code-snippet, you will get the point.
