Typo error in user test

Based on the expect(ation), shouldn't it be disallow instead of allow?

toptal-rest-series/test/users/users.test.ts

Line 65 in 87c915e

it('should allow a GET from /users', async function () {

Toptal Blog Part 1 URL is Missing

Hey team,

First off, I just wanted to say that your Node.js/TS series looks fantastic! I come from a predominantly Java/Golang background, so TypeScript is still pretty new to me.

That being said, I just wanted to bring one quick thing to your attention. When following the URL to part one of the Node.js/TypeScript series, it looks like I'm actually directed to part 2 (or, rather, the part 1 link returns part 2 text). Apologies if this isn't the best place to reach out, but I'd love to be able to start this series from the beginning in order to get a better understanding of NodeJS/TS for the new team I've recently joined.

Thanks!

Is Part 2 available?

I really enjoyed your article and was wondering if the article/code for part 2 has been released?

ReferenceError: request is not defined

toptal-rest-series/test/users/users.test.ts

Line 32 in 19594e3

const res = await request.post('/users').send(firstUserBody);

I get this error while writing this code.
Cannot find name 'request'. Did you mean 'Request'?ts(2552) lib.dom.d.ts(11576, 13): 'Request' is declared here.

Also after importing the same for either the 'http' or 'express' module, I get 'post' property not found error.

Property 'post' does not exist on type '{ (options: string | RequestOptions | URL, callback?: ((res: IncomingMessage) => void) | undefined): ClientRequest; (url: string | URL, options: RequestOptions, callback?: ((res: IncomingMessage) => void) | undefined): ClientRequest; }'.ts(2339)

Also I tried these but couldn't figure out how to apply them. Please help.
