Now it's time to actually create messages and display them in rooms within our application.

We'll start by creating a MessageForm component that will send a Message.create query to Fauna on form submission.

Next, we'll display these messages by updating our room query to also get all the messages for that room. You'll see that we can still just perform one query because we pass in the room id and call Message.where(.room == room) to the query.

One note here is if you console log your messages in your page component, you'll notice that the logs show up in the terminal and not the browser. This is because we are using a server component.
