Ansible: How to differentiate the hosts between two host-groups

My hosts file is like

[app]
192.168.6.100
192.168.6.101

[DB]
192.168.7.200
192.168.7.201

And I want to run two different .yml files separately for each of these hosts using - include app.yml and - include db.yml from a main.yml file

To differentiate between the hosts I used when: "{{ groups['app'] }}" and when: "{{ groups['db'] }}", but its not working properly. I'm also not sure whether its a right approach or not

# cat main.yml 
---
 - include: app.yml
   when: "{{ groups['app'] }}"
 - include: db.yml 
   when: "{{ groups['db'] }}"

You're close. The correct syntax would be:

---
 - include: app.yml
   when: "'app' in group_names"
 - include: db.yml 
   when: "'db' in group_names"
