How to add backend (mongoDB) functionality to Excel add-in?

Question

Hi I'm trying to build an Excel add-in via the JS API. I need to serve and collect data to and from the workbooks, so need some sort of database. I want to use MongoDB but trying to install it the normal way and requiring it in taskpane.js results in a "mongoose.connect is not a function" error. How should I go about setting up a backend for one of these apps? Thanks

I am using , RTK query to do CRUD with SQL(with express on top to create API ) .. SO if you have the MongoDB API, you can use it in the similar way.
