Prefixes when using docker-compose run -rm

Question

I am working on a PHP project using Laravel and I have several utilities in my docker-compose:

  composer:
    image: composer:latest
    container_name: composer
    volumes:
      - ./src:/var/www/html
    working_dir: /var/www/html
    depends_on:
      - php
    networks:
      - laravel

  npm:
    image: node:13.7
    container_name: npm
    volumes:
      - ./src:/var/www/html
    working_dir: /var/www/html
    entrypoint: ["npm"]

With this I have to prefix each command with docker-compose run -rm such as:

docker-compose run -rm npm update

Is there a way to simply have an environment that set some aliases (npm, grunt, composer, mysql...) when I am in that project in VSCode?

You can add a task in VS code

Lots of tools exist to automate tasks like linting, building, packaging, testing, or deploying software systems. Examples include the TypeScript Compiler, linters like ESLint and TSLint as well as build systems like Make, Ant, Gulp, Jake, Rake, and MSBuild.

VScode Task

it should be placed inside .vscode

├── docker-compose.yml
└── .vscode
    └── tasks.json

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "npm",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "docker-compose run ${input:npm}",
            "problemMatcher": [],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        },
        {
            "label": "composer",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "docker-compose run ${input:compose}",
            "problemMatcher": [],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ],
    "inputs": [
        {
            "id": "npm",
            "description": "npm argument:",
            "default": "npm",
            "type": "promptString"
        },
        {
            "id": "compose",
            "description": "compose argument:",
            "default": "composer",
            "type": "promptString"
        }

    ]
}

Now All set, all you need to press

Ctrl+Shift+B and both task will be listed, select and execute the task.
