How do I append an input element with an attribute of checkbox?

I am new to JavaScript and attempting to create a to-do list. How can I append an input with a checkbox attribute to my code so that paragraphs can be checked off once completed?

Here is my code below:

// ! DOM ELEMENTS

const taskInput = document.getElementById('taskInput');
const taskList = document.getElementById('taskList');


// ! ADD TASK

function addTask() {
  if (taskInput.value === '') {
    alert('Oh no... You have not written anything?');
  } else {
    let paragraph = document.createElement('p');
    paragraph.textContent = taskInput.value;
    taskList.appendChild(paragraph);
    saveTasks();
  }

  taskInput.value = '';
}

<div class="container">
  <h1>TO DO LIST</h1>

  <input type="text" id="taskInput" placeholder="ENTER TASK HERE!">

  <button id="addButton" click="addTask()">ADD</button>

  <div id="taskList">
  </div>

  <p> lorem 10</p>

</div>
