Ignores not working when using in package.json

[sinedied]

I'm trying to exclude some files from the linting, but the ignore option doesn't seem to work at all.
Not sure what's going on here, did I miss anything obvious?

  "xo": {
    "space": true,
    "semicolon": true,
    "prettier": true,
    "ignores": [
      "**/*.genai.mjs",
      "**/vite.config.ts"
    ],
    "rules": [ ... ]
 }

Yes this is using ignores incorrectly.

Ignores are not part of xo directly, just a part of ESLint. See eslint documentation.

"global ignores" need to be in a config item by itself.

  "xo": [
     {    
         "ignores": [
             "**/*.genai.mjs",
             "**/vite.config.ts"
          ]
    },
    {
        "space": true,
        "semicolon": true,
        "prettier": true,
        "rules": [ ... ]
     }
]

Thank you! I saw that part of ESLint config regarding globals, but was struggling to find how to translate that into my package.json file.
