In your webpack.config.js,

please remove the "" from the regex expression.

// Whatever else you got here
rules: [
    {
      test: /\.css$/,
      use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"]
    }
]

Your webpack config file should not have the file extension .json. Please change the extension to .js

Also, you need to tell webpack, that you want to use a config file and give it the path to this file. In your package.json, please modify the following prop:

{
   scripts: {
      "compile": "webpack --config webpack.config.js",
   }
}
