You probably don&#x27;t need a dedicated compiling add-on VS Code has a very simple, but capable, generic task running system. If you hit Ctrl+Shift+B (&quot;Build&quot; shortcut) it will launch and if it is the first time you&#x27;ve run it in that folder it will scaffold for you a sample JSON config file with a bunch of examples of how to configure it (and more examples are online).
