Webpack configuration with node-fetch is giving "node:buffer" is not handled by plugins

Question

I am trying to implement node-fetch with a react app and Webpack setup. But on using the node-fetch. I am getting tons of errors.

    ERROR in node:buffer

Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError: Reading from "node:buffer" is not handled by plugins (Unhandled scheme).
Webpack supports "data:" and "file:" URIs by default.
You may need an additional plugin to handle "node:" URIs.

This is how my webpack config looks like

const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const CopyPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  entry: path.resolve(__dirname, './src/index.tsx'),
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.js'],
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(ts|js)x?$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'babel-loader',
          },
        ],
      },
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'postcss-loader'],
      },
      {
        test: /\.(?:ico|gif|png|jpg|jpeg)$/i,
        type: 'asset/resource',
      },
      {
        test: /\.(woff(2)?|eot|ttf|otf|svg|)$/,
        type: 'asset/inline',
      },
    ],
  },
  devServer: {
    hot: true,
    open: true,
  },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, '..', './build'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
  },
  mode: 'development',
  devtool: 'cheap-module-source-map',
  plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      template: path.resolve(__dirname, './src/index.html'),
    }),
    new CopyPlugin({
      patterns: [{ from: 'src', to: 'build' }],
    }),
  ],
};

All I am trying to use is to use it here

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const login = (body) => {
  const env = process.env;

  fetch(`${env.AUTH_API_BASE_URL}/user/authentication`, {
    method: 'post',
    body: JSON.stringify(body),
    headers: { 'Content-type': 'application/json' },
  })
    .then((response) => {
      console.log(response);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      const res = {
        message: err.message,
        status: err.status,
      };
      return res;
    });
};

export default login;

Am I missing a configuration on Webpack? I tried installing packages like node-polyfill-webpack-plugin and node-libs-browser but didn't work or maybe I was not able to configure them properly.

I have a similar issue atm, did you figure out a fix for this? – Files
