Measure the current of a normal 12v dc motor?

I would like to know if there is a way to measure the current of a normal 12V dc motor.
I am using a DRV8838 and an Arduino Nano.
I want to use it to stop the motor once a specific current draw or load is reached, if the motor is about to stall.

Is there any ideas of it? if possible a simple explanation would be nice. Many thanks.
