TS2339: Property 'use' does not exist on type 'Router'
Please help me see what the reason is

Hey, are you trying to setup cors for the entire app or just a specific route ?

For the entire app it look like this:

import express from "express";
import cors from "cors";

const app = express();

app.use(cors({credentials:true,origin:true}));

const router = express();
applyMiddleware(middleware, router);

My router was passed from another file

This issue will help you: #5987

You should pin the @types/express to ^4.17.21

Try to use:
const router = Router()
export handleCors = router.use(cors({ credentials: true, origin: true}));

And verify if the @types of express is installed.
