Dependencies aren't being included on the build output of electron forge - build

Question

My electron app project uses create-react-app and my main process needed the electron-devtools-installer module. I'm using electron-forge for building the app. Now after running npm run make to package and built the app, I'm getting this error message
Error: Cannot find module 'electron-devtools-installer'
after opening the app. I'm not getting this error when I simply run electron ., thus I suspect the module is not being included on the packaging.
Now the said module is for development only, I could simply write a logic to ignore it when in production mode but what happens when I really need a 3rd party modules in my main process in the production, so how do I include the dependencies modules in the packaging?
I moved the electron-devtools-installer mode in dependencies key in package.json but it still doesn't work.
My package.json contains:
