I am trying to include tailwind in my react typescript app. I followed the instructions here: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/create-react-app

Basically I ran these commands in my existing app (which was created with create-react-app):

npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer

npx tailwindcss init -p

And then I updated my tailwind.config.js.

My final loadout looks like this:

# tailwind.config.js

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: ["./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
};

#postcss.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    tailwindcss: {},
    autoprefixer: {},
  },
}

# src/index.css
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

# src/app.tsx
import React from "react";
import "./index.css";
import MainComponent from "./app/main/index";

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1 className="underline">TEST</h1>
    </>
  );
}

export default App;

But my app loads without the underline styling under 'TEST' applied.

I assumed there is some sort of conflict with something in package.json, but I do not know what it is. I followed the same instructions on a fresh project without any other dependencies installed and it worked fine.

I have tried deleting node_modules and package-lock.json and running npm start again, but that did not work
