Json – Tailwind Css rebuilt : how write a script "watch"?

I am newbie in js. I installed tailwind to update my website, to make it responsive.
It works fine after upgraded computer to win 10 (goodbye 7). But in VSCode, i have to run :

 "npx tailwindcss -i ./src/css/input.css -o ./src/css/output.css --watch"

each time i start a terminal to make tailwind starting to rebuilt.
I saw a package.js in a video that contains this line :

"scripts":{
       "watch": "postcss ./src/css/input.css -o ./src/css/output.css --watch"
          },

enter image description here

It would be more simple to code if this "watch" was working.

Exécution de la tâche : npm run watch 

npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! JSON.parse Invalid package.json: JSONParseError: Unexpected string in JSON at 
position 533 while parsing '{
npm ERR! JSON.parse   "name": "postcss-cli",
npm ERR! JSON.parse   "version": '
npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse JSON data.
npm ERR! JSON.parse Note: package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.

Anybody to make it clearer ?

I added the line in package.js, in
"node_modulespostcss-cli" :

    After have seen an other video at watch?v=2NT6VvfR9Hk at 4:33 i have added the line :

     "scripts": {
"watch": "tailwindcss -i ./src/css/input.css -o ./src/css/output.css --watch"
  },

    in my package.js file not in postcss or postcss-cli directory, but in my tailwind-project directory. Now when i start VSCode, no need to copy and paste the entire line "tailwindcss -i ./src/css/input.css -o ./src/css/output.css --watch" to start the automatic building :-) : i just type :

    npm run watch

    And the building process starts.

    As the error message suggests, and probably your IDE suggests by the red squiggly underlines, the package.json is invalid JSON. You are missing a comma after the test script to delimit the entries in the scripts object and you have an erroneous trailing comma after the final watch entry in the scripts object. That section should look more like:

      "pretest": "…",
  "test": "…",
  "watch": "postcss ./src/css/input.css -o ./src/css/output.css --watch"
}
