TypeError: webpack.DefinePlugin is not a constructor

I am trying to add a plugin to my webpack.config.js file but when I do I get this error.

    [webpack-cli] Failed to load '/Users/slatifi/git/hcah/webpack.config.js' config

This is my webpack.config.js file:

const { webpack } = require("webpack");
module.exports = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: [{ loader: "babel-loader" }],
            },
            {
                test: /\.jsx$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: [{ loader: "babel-loader" }],
            },
            {
                test: /\.css$/i,
                use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
            },
            {
                test: /\.s[ac]ss$/i,
                use: [
                    // Creates `style` nodes from JS strings
                    "style-loader",
                    // Translates CSS into CommonJS
                    "css-loader",
                    // Compiles Sass to CSS
                    "sass-loader",
                ],
            },
            {
                test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg)$/i,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: "file-loader",
                    },
                ],
            },
        ],
    },
    resolve: {
        extensions: [".js", ".jsx", ".css", ".png"],
    },
    plugins: [
       new webpack.DefinePlugin({
            'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('development')
        })
    ]
};

I am trying to add this env variable to solve another issue I am getting with my react app (trying to use rsuite which is causing these issues), see below:

defaultProps.js:34 Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined
at eval (defaultProps.js:34)
at eval (StepItem.js:99)
at Module../node_modules/rsuite/es/Steps/StepItem.js (main.js:5094)
at __webpack_require__ (main.js:6051)
at eval (Steps.js:18)

at eval (index.js:5)
at Module../node_modules/rsuite/es/Steps/index.js (main.js:5116)
at __webpack_require__ (main.js:6051)

Any advise would be much appreciated.

I had encountered same problem before, the problem is this line of code:

const { webpack } = require("webpack");

All you need to do is to remove the curly brackets {}, and the rest code will be working fine:

const webpack = require("webpack");
