Learn to build an employee CRUD database app in JavaScript with add, edit, delete, search, sort, and localStorage persistence. Great intermediate JS project.
What You'll Learn
- How to implement full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) with JavaScript
- How to render an array of objects as an HTML table
- How to build a search bar that filters across multiple fields
- How to implement column sorting (ascending/descending)
- How to persist all data with
localStorage
Project Overview
An employee database lets HR manage staff records. Every record has a name, department, role, salary, and status. Users can add new employees via a form modal, edit existing ones, delete records, search by any field, and sort columns.
Component Structure
How It Works — Flow Diagram
Step-by-Step Build
Step 1 — Data Model & State
Example
let employees = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("employees")) || [
{ id: 1, name: "Alice Kim", dept: "Engineering", role: "Senior Dev", salary: 95000, status: "active" },
{ id: 2, name: "Bob Ray", dept: "Marketing", role: "SEO Specialist",salary: 72000, status: "active" },
{ id: 3, name: "Carol Lin", dept: "HR", role: "HR Manager", salary: 80000, status: "inactive" }
];
let nextId = employees.length ? Math.max(...employees.map(e => e.id)) + 1 : 1;
let sortKey = "name";
let sortAsc = true;
let searchQ = "";
let deptFilter = "all";
Step 2 — Render Table
Example
function renderTable() {
let data = [...employees];
// search
if (searchQ) {
const q = searchQ.toLowerCase();
data = data.filter(e =>
e.name.toLowerCase().includes(q) ||
e.dept.toLowerCase().includes(q) ||
e.role.toLowerCase().includes(q)
);
}
// department filter
if (deptFilter !== "all") {
data = data.filter(e => e.dept === deptFilter);
}
// sort
data.sort((a, b) => {
const va = a[sortKey], vb = b[sortKey];
if (typeof va === "number") return sortAsc ? va - vb : vb - va;
return sortAsc
? String(va).localeCompare(String(vb))
: String(vb).localeCompare(String(va));
});
const tbody = document.getElementById("employeeTableBody");
tbody.innerHTML = data.length === 0
? `<tr><td colspan="6" class="empty">No employees found</td></tr>`
: data.map(e => `
<tr data-id="${e.id}">
<td>${e.id}</td>
<td>${e.name}</td>
<td>${e.dept}</td>
<td>${e.role}</td>
<td>$${e.salary.toLocaleString()}</td>
<td>
<button class="btn-edit" data-id="${e.id}">✎</button>
<button class="btn-delete" data-id="${e.id}">🗑</button>
</td>
</tr>`
).join("");
document.getElementById("countDisplay").textContent =
`Showing ${data.length} of ${employees.length} employees`;
}
Step 3 — Add Employee
Example
function addEmployee(data) {
employees.push({ id: nextId++, ...data });
saveEmployees();
renderTable();
}
Step 4 — Update Employee
Example
function updateEmployee(id, data) {
const idx = employees.findIndex(e => e.id === id);
if (idx !== -1) employees[idx] = { ...employees[idx], ...data };
saveEmployees();
renderTable();
}
Step 5 — Delete Employee
Example
function deleteEmployee(id) {
if (!confirm("Delete this employee?")) return;
employees = employees.filter(e => e.id !== id);
saveEmployees();
renderTable();
}
Step 6 — Event Delegation for Table Actions
Example
document.getElementById("employeeTableBody").addEventListener("click", (e) => {
const id = Number(e.target.dataset.id);
if (e.target.classList.contains("btn-edit")) openModal("edit", id);
if (e.target.classList.contains("btn-delete")) deleteEmployee(id);
});
Step 7 — Search & Filter
Example
document.getElementById("searchInput").addEventListener("input", (e) => {
searchQ = e.target.value;
renderTable();
});
document.getElementById("deptSelect").addEventListener("change", (e) => {
deptFilter = e.target.value;
renderTable();
});
Step 8 — Column Sorting
Example
document.querySelectorAll("th[data-sort]").forEach(th => {
th.addEventListener("click", () => {
if (sortKey === th.dataset.sort) sortAsc = !sortAsc;
else { sortKey = th.dataset.sort; sortAsc = true; }
renderTable();
});
});
Console Output
Output
// Initial load
loadEmployees() → 3 employees from localStorage
renderTable() → 3 rows rendered
// Search "engineering"
searchQ = "engineering"
renderTable() → filters to 1 row (Alice Kim)
// Sort by salary
sortKey = "salary", sortAsc = true
renderTable() → rows sorted: Bob $72k, Carol $80k, Alice $95k
// Delete Bob (id: 2)
confirm("Delete this employee?") → true
employees = [Alice, Carol]
saveEmployees() → localStorage updated
renderTable() → 2 rows shownEdge Cases to Handle
| Situation | Expected Behavior |
|---|---|
| No employees | Show "No employees found" row |
| Search matches zero | Show empty state |
| Delete last employee | Empty table shown |
| Edit and cancel | No changes saved |
| Salary NaN | Validate number input |
Challenge Yourself
- Pagination — show 10 employees per page with Previous/Next navigation
- CSV export — download all employees as a
.csvfile - Import CSV — parse an uploaded CSV to bulk-add employees
- Salary statistics — show average, min, and max salary per department
- Role-based view — different users see different columns (HR vs manager)
Best Practices
- Separate data operations (add/update/delete) from rendering
- Always call
saveEmployees()andrenderTable()together after mutations - Use
Array.findfor single lookups andArray.filterfor multi-result queries - Apply search, filter, and sort as a pipeline in the render function
- Use
confirm()for destructive actions in simple projects; use a modal in production
