I need to get root folder id and filter folders which have root folder as their parent folder. Using Nodejs and google drive API v3 . This is my code and how I change this code to get root folderId?

const service = google.drive('v3');
   service.files.list({
   auth: client2,
   fields: 'nextPageToken, files(id, name, webContentLink, webViewLink, mimeType, parents)'
     }, (err, res) => {
   if (err) {
     console.error('The API returned an error.');
     throw err;
   }
   const files = res.data.files;
   if (files.length === 0) {
     console.log('No files found.');
   } else {
    
     console.log('Files Found!');
     for (const file of files) {
       console.log(`${file.name} (${file.id})`);

     }

The folder id of the root folder is "root". The file.list method has an option parameter called q which is used for searching.

 service.files.list({auth: auth,
    resource: { parents: [ folderId ] },
    q: "'root' in parents",
    fields: '*',
    spaces: 'drive',
    pageToken: pageToken,
  }

This code is kind of a guess as i dont have the power to test node on this machine.
