Open up client.js in the om folder. Remember how we created a Redis OM Client and then called .open() on it?

const client = await new Client().open(url)

Well, the Client class also has a .use() method that takes a Node Redis connection. Modify client.js to open a connection to Redis using Node Redis and then .use() it:

import { Client } from 'redis-om'
import { createClient } from 'redis'

/* pulls the Redis URL from .env */
const url = process.env.REDIS_URL

/* create a connection to Redis with Node Redis */
export const connection = createClient({ url })
await connection.connect()

/* create a Client and bind it to the Node Redis connection */
const client = await new Client().use(connection)

export default client

And that's it. Redis OM is now using the connection you created. Note that we are exporting both the client and the connection. Got to export the connection if we want to use it in our newest route.
