+    You can make your application respond to user input by using the event syntax. The event syntax starts with an event name surrounded by parenthesis: <code>(event)</code>. A controller function is then assigned to the event name: <code>(event)="controllerFn()"</code>.

     For a particular control like an input you can have it call methods on your controller on keyup event like so:

     it the value. Since you created a reference called <code>todotext</code>, you can get the value with
-    <code>todotext.domElement.value.</code>

   p And then create the <code>doneTyping()</code> method on TodoList and handle adding the todo text.
