LocalStorage on Vite gets cleared on every refresh

I am doing a Todo app where users' data(todos) will be stored on localStorage and display the data when page is refreshed or reopened. But I had this issue that when user refreshes page, localStorage gets cleared. I couldn't be able to solve the problem no matter what I tried. I am pretty sure that my code is not the problem because I copied my components and stuff to newly created create-react-app project and it worked. Then I copied the same files to newly created Vite project and same problem happened again.

I installed Vite with React framework and selected only JavaScript and then I installed Tailwindcss.
