Is there some documentation of how to integrate some kind of intellisense for a custom language to it and not only syntax highlighting?

I might need to integrate an editor for a custom DSL into a webapp soon, and Monaco could of course be an interesting alternative to codemirror or ACE.

Here [1] is a working sample showing how to register a completion item provider for a language.

The monaco-typescript [2] plugin shows how a lot of the language API can be used.

Thanks, that should be a good start. [1] does not demonstrate context-dependent completions, but I guess it should be possible, and maybe [2] helps there. It's also nice that in the playground intellisense for the monaco API is enabled.
