vscode how to include leveldb installed on my Mac by HomeBrew

I installed leveldb my mac using homebrew and tried to import it to a cpp project in vscode. However, when trying to import the header file db.h as below:

#include "leveldb/db.h"

The IntelliSense could not find the file. Editing the includePath in c_cpp_properties.json also did not help:

        "includePath": [
            "${workspaceFolder}/**",
            "/usr/local/bin/**",
            "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/**",
        ],

As "brew info leveldb" outputs:

Key-value storage library with ordered mapping https://github.com/google/leveldb/ /opt/homebrew/Cellar/leveldb/1.23 (31 files, 830.7KB) *

So I included /opt/homebrew/Cellar/** but that did not help.

Could anyone point out what the problem is and what potential workarounds there are?

It's conventional to name the directory that you pass as an include directory "include". If you want to #include "leveldb/db.h", then it you should use /opt/homebrew/Cellar/leveldb/1.23/include instead.
