node.js - Slackbot running on express server, add response to store -

i trying make a simple slack bot work, @ time of day, private message sent out asking team member has learnt day, , want store response data store, , array of objects, team can reference when need know knows what, etc.

i using slackbots node wrapper calls, , bot running on express server want use hand db stuff (it filesystem db @ moment diskdb). can functions of bot work, easy enough, don't know how can save message response db.

the bot code this

const slackbot = require('slackbots'); const http = require('http');  const bot = new slackbot({   token: 'xoxb-161286416421-euhc2t0a96gsykddjpk2zjrt',   name: 'botivate' });  const params = {   icon_emoji: ':robot_face:' }  const options = {   host: 'localhost',   port: '9000',   path: '/responses',   method: 'post' };   bot.on('start', function() {   bot.postmessagetouser('locky', 'botivate online', params); });  bot.on('message', function(data) {   if(data.type === 'message') {     let postdata = {       user: data.user,       text: data.text,       dateadded: new date()     }     [here save postdata]   } })  bot.on('close', function(data) {   bot.postmessagetouser('locky', 'botivate powering down', params); })  module.exports = bot; 

i want save postdata store.

i have route this:

const express = require('express'); const bodyparser = require('body-parser'); const router = express.router();  let db = require('diskdb'); db = db.connect('./database',['responses']);  router.route('/')     .post((req, res) => {         let response = {             user: req.body.user,             text: req.body.text,             dateadded: new date(),             dateupdated: null         };         console.log(response);         res.json(db.responses.save(response));     })     .get((req, res) => {         res.json(db.responses.find());     })  module.exports = router; 

diskdb has similar scheme mongoose mongodb

how can send postdata route save it? tried use http.request kept getting errors buffer. file diskdb saves .json , 1 big array.

could require in jquery , use ajax shorthand within server, pass onto route?
