Vite with datatables.net is Missing CSS

I am trying to learn how to use VIte. I have installed datatables.net. The Javascript controls, including pagination and sorting appear to be working, but I am not getting any CSS with it.

This is my App.js

import './bootstrap';

import $ from "jquery";
window.$ = $

import DataTable from 'datatables.net';
window.DataTable = DataTable;

This is my app.css:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@import 'datatables.net';

Here is the short version of my Welcome.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

        <title>Laravel</title>

        <!-- Fonts -->
        <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.bunny.net">
        <link href="https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=figtree:400,600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />

        <!-- Styles -->
        @vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
       
    </head>
    <body >
       
          
        <table id="example" class="display" style="width:100%">
            <thead>

                </tr>
            </tfoot>
        </table>
<script  type='module'>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable();
});
 </script>
      
    </body>
</html>

What am I doing wrong?

It looks like you are missing the link to the DataTables.net CSS file in your <head> tag. You should add the following line to your <head> tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.21/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"/>

This should allow the CSS to be loaded and applied to your DataTable.
