Hello Kirupa, I have finished the Todolist tutorial by watching your video and reading your book Learn React. I came across a problem though. The text I typed in the inputbox stays after I press the submit button. I don’t know how to fix it. Can you direct me, please? Here is the link to github [https://github.com/siargao/todoList2](https://github.com/siargao/todoList2) Cheers ---

Without looking at your code, my guess would be that you may have not provided a setState value of an empty string to the inputBox on the submit function? ---
