Solved: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'sass-loader'

I have been struggling with this problem a few minutes ago when I was trying to install node-sass and sass-loader in my Vuejs project.
I used this command :

npm i --save-dev node-sass sass-loader
Output:
Could not resolve dependency: npm ERR! dev sass-loader@"*" from the root project npm ERR!
With some sort of:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

So, I thought this was some dependency conflicts and there is actually a note about this here

This is how I solved the issue:
npm install -D sass-loader@^10 sass

Yep node-sass is deprecated. Start using dart-sass :)
