-5. Integration Documentation *ale-integrations*
+5. Completion *ale-completion*
+
+ALE offers some limited support for automatic completion of code while you
+type. Completion is only supported via Language Server Protocol servers which
+ALE can connect to for linting, which can offer good built-in support for
+suggesting completion information. ALE will only suggest symbols for
+completion for LSP linters that are enabled.
+
+NOTE: At the moment, only `tsserver` for TypeScript code is supported for
+completion.
+
+Suggestions will be made while you type after completion is enabled.
+Completion can be enabled by setting |g:ale_completion_enabled| to `1`. The
+delay for completion can be configured with |g:ale_completion_delay|. ALE will
+only suggest so many possible matches for completion. The maximum number of
+items can be controlled with |g:ale_completion_max_suggestions|.
