Tailwind v2 and custom NPM package

[dudedigital]

To upgrade my NPM package to use Tailwind v2, I had to use the compatibility build. After publishing and installing my new package version I am getting this error:

Syntax Error: Error: Loading PostCSS Plugin failed: Cannot find module 'tailwindcss'

from this line:

import '@package/path/to/dist/styling.css';

What's also interesting is the same import works in other projects. Tailwind is not included in this project other than through my NPM package (which compiles fine). Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any insight would be appreciated.

I was able to get the error to go away by installing the tailwind compatibility into the project alongside my NPM package. I didn't want to do this but it solved it for now.

The way this line

"tailwindcss": "npm:@tailwindcss/postcss7-compat@^2.0.3",

points to another package makes me think maybe it breaks when used inside an npm package within a project.
