CSS Loader in Webpack config is not working

Question

I am trying to integrate https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-date-range When I import css files, it gives loader issue. My webpack file and error message is shown below. Any help regarding this problem is appreciated

Webpack config File

var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var CircularDependencyPlugin = require('circular-dependency-plugin');
var ExtractCssChunks = require("extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin");

var config = require('./../config');

var BASE_PATH = process.env.BASE_PATH || '/';

        port: 3000
    }
}

Following are the error messages, Seems like it can find the css files but cannot parse it, Let me know if anybody can help.

Error Message :

Since you are loading the css file from node_modules package but you set css loader with include only your source path. I suggest to either remove that:

{
  test: /\.css$/,
  use: [
    ExtractCssChunks.loader,
    'css-loader',
    'postcss-loader'
  ],
},

Or put more package into your list, it's up to you:

{
  test: /\.css$/,
  use: [
    ExtractCssChunks.loader,
    'css-loader',
    'postcss-loader'
  ],
  include: [path.resolve(config.srcDir, 'styles'), /node_modules/\react-date-range /]
},
