I am getting an error when trying to add the mongo connection to the request

Property 'dbClient' does not exist on type 'Request<ParamsDictionary>'.

I would like to have the connection available without having to add it to all my routes.

Thanks for your help

Here is my code snippet

const mongoUri = process.env.MONGO_URI ? process.env.MONGO_URI : "";
const mongoClient = new MongoClient(mongoUri);
async function createMongoConnecion() {
  try {
    await mongoClient.connect();
    console.log("connected");
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("Error connecting to mongo: " + err);
  } finally {
    console.log("Connected to mongo successfully!");
  }
}

app.use(async function (req, res, next) {
  req.dbClient = mongoClient;
  next();
});

routes.push(new SearchRoutes(app));
