### 2.ii Fixing
ALE can fix files with the `ALEFix` command. Functions need to be configured
for different filetypes with the `g:ale_fixers` variable. See `:help ale-fix`.
for different filetypes with the `g:ale_fixers` variable. For example, the
following code can be used to fix JavaScript code with ESLint:
```vim
" Put this in vimrc or a plugin file of your own.
" After this is configured, :ALEFix will try and fix your JS code with ESLint.
let g:ale_fixers = {
\ 'javascript': ['eslint'],
\}
" Set this setting in vimrc if you want to fix files automatically on save.
" This is off by default.
let g:ale_fix_on_save = 1
```
The `:ALEFixSuggest` command will suggest some supported tools for fixing code,
but fixers can be also implemented with functions, including lambda functions
too. See `:help ale-fix` for detailed information.

### 2.iii Completion
ALE offers some support for completion via hijacking of omnicompletion while you
type. All of ALE's completion information must come from Language Server
Protocol linters, or similar protocols. At the moment, completion is only
supported for TypeScript code with `tsserver`, when `tsserver` is enabled. You
can enable completion like so:
```vim
" Enable completion where available.
let g:ale_completion_enabled = 1
```
See `:help ale-completion` for more information.

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|.
