Error: Cannot find module 'chalk' when using graphql-shield in production

See original GitHub issue

My Node.js app runs perfectly fine in development mode.

On running the app in production (by setting NODE_ENV to production or using npm install --production), it throws the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'chalk'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:596:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/example/app/node_modules/graphql-shield/dist/src/index.js:56:15)

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:663:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:565:32)

If I do just npm install on my production server without the --production flag, all works well but I suppose that’s not a solution since I don’t want to take up space installing devDependencies on my production server.
