Prettier-vscode: .prettierignore ignore everything except specific folder

[tlareg]

.prettierignore file:

# Ignore everything:
*

# Except myapp folder:
!myapp/

When running prettier from console - works great, changes in myapp folder are formatted by prettier and changes in other folders are ignored (I am using commit hook with husky and lint-staged configured exactly like in prettier docs).

When I run "Format document" from vscode on file inside myapp folder, it is not working.
After removing .prettierignore file, "Format document" works great.

I think prettier-vscode is ignoring everything without exceptions when I use such prettierignore file?

ok, maybe this is my fault, works ok with:

# Ignore everything:
/*

# Except myapp:
!/myapp

We should check if we run the same version of ignore than prettier.
The behavior should be the same in both case (cli and extension)

I have a similar problem to this, except my project is a monorepo. The solution that tlareg has does not seem to work for me.

Project structure:

root/
  .git
  other-app/
  web-app/
    package.json
    .prettierignore

I want to specify prettierignore so that only web-app dir files get formatted on save.

.prettierignore file:

# Ignore everything:
/*

# Except web-app:
!/web-app

When I run "Format document" from vscode on file inside web-app folder, it is not working.
After removing .prettierignore file, "Format document" works great.

However, with pretty-quick pre-commit hook, the staged files inside web-app will be formatted. So it seems the prettierignore syntax is problematic only on prettier-vscode?

Update
The above .prettierignore will work with prettier-vscode if I open the project from root, but does not work if it is opened from web-app directory

Update again
Fixed this myself. Resolved by moving .prettierignore to root, and add files to ignore. In web-app, create a workspace setting to include prettier.ignorePath

Final result.
Project structure:

root/
  .git
  .prettierignore
  other-app/
  web-app/
    package.json

.prettierignore file:

# Ignore everything:
/*

# Except web-app:
!/**/web-app

vscode settings.json in web-app dir includes

"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"prettier.ignorePath": "../.prettierignore"

We are using prettier to determine the ignored files in version 3.0 so there should be no difference in prettier's behavior vs ours.
