Ignore specific file type in directory and all sub-directories?

I have been trying to ignore a specific file type in a directory and all its subdirectories, however nodemon keeps reloading regardless.

Expected behaviour

For example, I am trying to ignore all js files in the views directory as well as any subdirectories. I am currently using a nodemon.json file with the following config object:

{ "verbose": true, "ignore": ["views/*.js", "views/**/*.js"], "ext": "js, ejs, json" }

Actual behaviour

Nodemon still reloads on saving any js file in any subdirectory of the “views” folder.

Turns out I had forgotten the last change I made to the config file. The original glob pattern does not work, however the following does:

{ "verbose": true, "ext": "js, ejs, json", "ignore": ["views\\**\\*.js"] } I am not sure why, but it may have something to do with the backslashes in the file paths matching the pattern check.

I restarted and it seems to be working now. Seems I misunderstood the console logs, nodemon was not actually restarting, just running a file check to check if reload needs to be done. Apologies for the confusion.
