Detect when installing volume

Question

I am new to node.js, in fact I am playing with Electron. My application is designed to configure the device from a specific provider and to read recorded files.

Config - a text file in the root of the device. Recorded files in a folder.

I want to know when a new device with connection points is connected and disconnected. I can perform these tasks (detect and list mount points) separately, but I cannot figure out how to glue them together. To have a callback on connect / disconnect, I use a module node-usband

var usb = require('usb'); 
usb.on('attach', ...); 

But there are no mount points, an example output:

{ busNumber: 253,
  deviceAddress: 3,
  deviceDescriptor:
   { bLength: 18,
     bDescriptorType: 1,
     bcdUSB: 528,
     bDeviceClass: 0,
     bDeviceSubClass: 0,
     bDeviceProtocol: 0,
     bMaxPacketSize0: 64,
     idVendor: 34148,
     idProduct: 4096,
     bcdDevice: 4352,
     iManufacturer: 1,
     iProduct: 2,
     iSerialNumber: 3,
     bNumConfigurations: 1 },
  portNumbers: [] }

My target platforms are OS X and Windows. The only way I can see is to create my own C ++ module.

Is there an easy way to achieve this?
