Answer 1

You can add react devtools directly from your main.js file like this

const installExtensions = async () => {
  const installer = require('electron-devtools-installer')
  const forceDownload = !!process.env.UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS
  const extensions = [
    'REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS',
    'REDUX_DEVTOOLS',
    'DEVTRON'
  ]

  return Promise
    .all(extensions.map(name => installer.default(installer[name], forceDownload)))
    .catch(console.log)
}

app.on('ready', async () => {
  if (dev && process.argv.indexOf('--noDevServer') === -1) {
    await installExtensions()
  }
  createWindow()
})
