Creating a folder watcher with Chokidar

createWatcher.js

// Watch the source folder for changes
async function watchFiles(auth) {
  if (store.get('save_location') !== '') {
    const watcher = chokidar.watch(store.get('save_location'), {
      persistent: true,
      ignoreInitial: true // ignores files that already exist in this folder
    });

    watcher.on('add', async path => {
      // code to execute when a new file is added
    });
  }
}
