The /command end-point accepts commands identified by the type property. (This is a variation of the approach described in this blog post.) As a result of a successful command request, new events are responded to the client. As the samples above show, there are two types of domain events in the app: todoAdded and todoToggled. Those event are used to reconstruct the current state of the app (the todo list).
