+### Statusline
+
+You can use `ALEGetStatusLine()` to integrate ALE into vim statusline.
+To enable it, you should have in your `statusline` settings
+
+```vim
+%{ALEGetStatusLine()}
+```
+
+When errors are detected a string showing the number of errors will be shown.
+You can customize the output format using the global list `g:ale_statusline_format` where:
+
+- The 1st element is for errors
+- The 2nd element is for warnings
+- The 3rd element is for when no erros are detected
+
+e.g
+
+```vim
+let g:ale_statusline_format = ['⨉ %d', '⚠ %d', '⬥ ok']
