Creating multiple elements using javascript with some element in created element

I'm trying to use javascript to create a set of elements over and over again once the user enters a text where it would display the text with a button with an image in it to the side of it but I could not find a way to do it efficiently.

The current method I was going to create would require each element to have a id tag to it so that I could call appendChild to join the elements together.

I also need to have a create element be appended into another create element which adds to the issues

This is what I'm trying to achieve in the html code (the div would not be needed to be created as it is in the html code already)

function addToList(input) {
  console.log(x);
  let task = document.createElement('p');
  task.id = x;
  task.appendChild(document.createTextNode(input));
  document.getElementById('listOfTasks').appendChild(task);
  addCheckBox(x);
  x++;
}

function addCheckBox(id) {
  let checkBox = document.createElement('a');
  checkBox.className = 'button is-rounded is-small';
  checkBox.id = 'checkBox';
  document.getElementById(id).appendChild(checkBox);

  let a = document.createElement('span');
  a.className = 'icon is-small';
  a.id = 'apple';
  document.getElementById(id).appendChild(a);

  let b = document.createElement('i');
  b.className = 'fas fa-check';
  document.getElementById(id).appendChild(b);
}

    <div id="listOfTasks"></div>
</div>
        
<section class="section">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="field box form-popup" id="addTask">
        	<div class="control">
        		<div class="field is-grouped">
        			<label class="label"><b>Task to add</b></label>
        				    </div>
        					    <input
        							type="text"
        							class="input"
        							placeholder="Enter Task"
        							id="task"
        							required
        						/>
        					</div>
        				<button
        					type="button submit"
        					class="button is-success"
        					id="submit"
        					onclick="closeForm()"
        					>
        						Add
        	</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

The current output is shown as

Would be grateful if anyone knows a better method to do this

Make a function that reduces boilerplate code when creating element

function create(name, props, children) {
  let elem = document.createElement(name); // create it
  const parent = props.parent              // we use parent prop elsewhere
  let keys = Object.keys(props)            // collect keys
  keys = keys.filter(function(key) {       // remove parent prop from keys
    return key !== 'parent'
  })
  keys.forEach(function(key) {             // assign props to element
    elem.setAttribute(key, props[key])
  })
  if (children && children.length) {       // add children to element
    children.forEach(function(child) {
      elem.appendChild(child)
    })
  }
  if (parent) {                            // attach to parent
    document.getElementById(id).appendChild(elem);
  }
  return elem                              // return it, to customize further
}

And then

function addCheckBox(id) {
  create('a', {
    id: 'checkBox',                          // simple prop
    parent: id,                              // parent prop
    class: 'button is-rounded is-small'  // simple prop
  })
  var span = create('span', {
    parent: id,
    id: 'apple',
    class: 'icon is-small'
  }, [create('i', {                      // demo of children
    class: 'fa fa-check'
  }])
  span.setAttribute('data-something', 1) // demo of customizing
}
