using require

See original GitHub issue

How could I use this:

import installExtension, { REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS } from ‘electron-devtools-installer’;

installExtension(REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS) .then((name) => console.log(Added Extension: ${name})) .catch((err) => console.log('An error occurred: ', err));

With node require imports?
