How do I run prettier on a specific subdirectory on my project?

I have a typescript project structure something like this:

--workflows
    |--app1
         |--src
    |--app2
         |--src

I am trying to run prettier, but I only want to run on app1.

I tried something like this:

prettier --write \"workflows/app1/**/*.{js, ts}\"

This doesn't return any files.

But if I run something like this:

prettier --write \"workflows/**/*.{js, ts}\"

It returns all files under workflows directory.

What am I doing wrong? How can I get it to run only for files under app1?

It worked without using quotes

prettier --write workflows/app1/**/*.{js, ts} 

Json looks like this:

"scripts": {
    "review": "prettier --write workflows/app1/**/*.{js,ts}"
    }

According to the docs you can use a .prettierignore file in the root of your project: https://prettier.io/docs/en/ignore.html

Simply create a file called .prettierignore and type the directories you want to exclude in your case:

app2

You can also use the --ignore-path option in the CLI
