This seems to be a problem with the module resolution in tsconfig but I don't know why. If you override it to use Node rather than Node16 it works but, as far as I know, this shouldn't matter.

Basically what's happening is it thinks that import tailwindcss from "tailwindcss" produces an object of the form { default: PluginCreator<…> } rather than PluginCreator<…>.

I'll see if I can track down what's happening here (or at least a why).

Typescript core team has a online tool to help you make your package export type correctly, which may help you.

This should be fixed by #12097, and will be available in the next release.

You can already try it by using the insiders build npm install tailwindcss@insiders.

Insiders builds take roughly 15m to publish but NPM was complaining about the last one already existing when it doesn't so… fingers crossed lol
