TypeError: match.loader.options.plugins is not a function

I am trying to use tailwindCSS in a ReactJS app

These are the scripts commands in package.json file

  "scripts": {
    "start": "craco start",
    "build": "craco build",
    "test": "craco test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }

This is my craco.config.js

module.exports = {
    style: {
        postcss: {
            plugins: [
                require('tailwindcss'),
                require('autoprefixer'),
            ],
        },
    },
}

When I am used npm run start command, I am facing this error

Things that I have tried :

  1. Reinstall node_modules

Got this error, when I tried to do that

$ npm i @craco/craco
