'Jest is giving SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

I am trying to test my React componnent in which i have imported a css file like this

import styles from "./NavBar.module.css"

Jest Test suite fail to run

 ({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,jest){.nav  {
                                                                                      ^
    SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

        import styles from "./NavBar.module.css";

It seems like jest does not understand css files. Is there a workaround?

my package.json
