Unable to find module cors in heroku

I am running a React/NodeJS project on Heroku. My first time installing a project on Heroku. The deployment ran fine, but then I get the following error:

The cors has been included in my dependencies. So not sure where the problem lies.

package.json for nodeJS

You need move cors package from devDependencies into dependencies. This is because heroku runs your node app in production mode, devDependencies are not installed in production mode.
