Making a chat app that saves to a database

Code Help Node JS
#1

If I made a chat app, how would I save the chats to a database? mongo/replit db preferred.
Could you give me a basic code snippet? Thanks!

#2 
const Client = require("@replit/database");
const db = new Client();

function createGroup(name, users) {
	db.get(name).then(function(chat) {
		if (!chat) {
			db.set(name, {
				"name": name,
				"users": [ "user1", "user2" ],
				"messages": [ ]
			});
		}
	});
}

function message(chat, username, message) {
	const sendTime = Date.now();
	db.get(chatName, function(chat) {
		if (chat && chat.users.includes(username)) {
			chat.messages.push({
				"author": username,
				message,
				sendTime
			});
			db.set(chatName, chat);
		}
	});
}
