No PostCSS config found

Question

I am trying to learn reactjs according to a tutorial. Meanwhile the tutorial instructs to use webpack for compiling stylesheets and JS assets. I am stuck in an error where the stylesheets cannot get compiled and throws following error while compiling the file using webpack. It displays following error :

   ERROR in ./src/stylesheets/hello.css (./node_modules/css-loader!./node_modules/postcss-loader/lib!./src/stylesheets/hello.css) Module build failed: Error: No PostCSS Config found in: E:\developer\start\src\stylesheets     at E:\developer\start\node_modules\postcss-load-config\index.js:51:26     at <anonymous>  @ ./src/stylesheets/hello.css 2:14-124  @ ./src/lib.js  @ ./src/index.js  @ multi (webpack)-dev-server/client?http://localhost:4000 ./src/index.js 

I have done everything according to the tutorial but somehow this error persists and couldn't solve this as I am very new to this. My webpack configuration file webpack.config.js is as follows:

    module: {         rules: [            {                 test: /\.css$/,                 use: [{                     loader: "style-loader" // creates style nodes from JS strings                 }, {                     loader: "css-loader" // translates CSS into CommonJS                 }, {                     loader: "postcss-loader" // compiles Sass to CSS                 }]             },             {                 test: /\.scss$/,                 use: [{                     loader: "style-loader" // creates style nodes from JS strings                 }, {                     loader: "css-loader" // translates CSS into CommonJS                 }, {                     loader: "postcss-loader" // compiles Sass to CSS                 }, {                     loader: "sass-loader" // compiles Sass to CSS                 }]             }         ]     } };

Made a new file in the root directory named postcss.config.js and added

module.exports = {};
