   "builds": [
       {
           "src": "./index.js",
           "use": "@vercel/node"
       }
   ],
   "routes": [
       {
           "src": "/(.*)",
           "dest": "index.js"
       }

Step-2: Then, run these command on your terminal

Step-1: Go to your index.js file, remove app.use(cors()) and write this code instead:



const corsConfig = {
    origin: '',
    credentials: true,
    methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE']
}
app.use(cors(corsConfig))
app.options("", cors(corsConfig))


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step-2: Then, go to your vercel.json file and copy-paste this code:




{
    "version": 2,
    "builds": [
        {
            "src": "./index.js",
            "use": "@vercel/node"
        }
    ],
    "routes": [
        {
            "src": "/(.*)",
            "dest": "/",
            "methods": ["GET", "POST", "PATCH", "DELETE", "OPTIONS"]
        }
    ]
}

Go to Vercel dashboard --> Choose the project --> settings--> Environment Variables

Make sure the enviroment variables you added match with the one in your .env file
