I had tried to deploy a MERN stack application on heroku. I had followed the procedure given in the heroku documentation. But, somehow I am unable to deploy the application to heroku.
The following is my server.js code:
const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const path = require('path');
const items = require('./routes/api/items');
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
const db = require('./config/keys').mongoURI;
mongoose
.connect(db)
.then(() => console.log('MongoDB Connected...'))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
app.use('/api/items', items);
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
app.use(express.static('client/build'));
app.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, 'client', 'build', 'index.html'));
});
}
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${port}`));
The following is my package.json file in the server folder:
{
"name": "mern_shopping_list",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"client-install" : "npm install --prefix client",
"start": "node server.js",
"server": "nodemon server.js",
"client": "npm start --prefix client",
"dev" : "concurrently \"npm run server\" \"npm run client\"",
"heroku-postbuild": "NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false npm install --prefix client && npm run build --
prefix client"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "^1.19.0",
"concurrently": "^5.1.0",
"express": "^4.17.1",
"mongoose": "^5.9.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^2.0.2"
}
}
The error I am getting is the following:

I had tried out some of the links online but none of them is giving the desired result. Can anybody suggest me how to fix this?
