How to specify image or asset url in CSS

[frogandcode]

How does one specify the url of a background image (or other asset in the asset pipeline) in application.tailwind.css so that the asset url is generated properly?

With the sass-rails gem, I believe the following approaches work:

background-image: image-url(‘waves.png’);
// or
background-image: url(image_path(‘waves.png’));

I’ve tried both of these (along with asset_path) with tailwind-rails to no avail.

Has anyone done this in their application? Thanks!

url('waves.png') will be rewritten to use asset pipeline with latest sprockets-rails automatically 👍

Just in case anyone ever comes back to this, make sure to restart your development server with ./bin/dev.
