Error when using Query Engine API in plugin HomePage

Questions and Answers

I am trying to make a plugin where you can input a JSON file and update some records in the database, and have a button that runs a function. The function use strapi.db.query('api::{collection name}').findMany() to find existing records, to then update. I am doing this in the index.js of the HomePage folder.

I get the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'query')
