Vite React Tailwind library - Can't export theme with image asset for backgroundImage

[JRebella]

Trying to setup an image asset in my library, that can be used via a tailwind utility class bg-spray1. Having an issue with how to define and export this asset

---

If I define it as relative/absolute URL no errors but then the class references nothing since the asset isn't properly exported and put in the right place

backgroundImage: {
        spray1: 'url("/assets/backgrounds/spray1.png")',
},

If I try to import the asset directly inside the tailwind config file, build crashes since it can't read the file (I guess this is because tailwind precomplier runs before/outside vite?)

import spray from '../assets/images/backgrounds/spray1.png?url';
...

backgroundImage: {
  spray1: `url("${spray}")`,
},
