I want to write a small alias aka function to open up vim sessions fast.
vims () {
vim -S "${HOME}/Sessions/${1}"
}
How can I make bash complete/suggest the session files in the path, when entering vimsTabTab?

Based on pynexj answer and my daily use:
_autocomplete()
{
local cmd=$1 cur=$2 pre=$3 from_path=$4
local _cur compreply
_cur=$from_path/$cur
compreply=( $( compgen -d "$_cur" ) )
COMPREPLY=( ${compreply[@]#$from_path/} )
if [[ ${#COMPREPLY[@]} -eq 1 ]]; then
COMPREPLY[0]=${COMPREPLY[0]}/
fi
}
vims()
{
vim -S ~/Sessions/$1
}
_vims_autocomplete()
{
_autocomplete "$1" "$2" "$3" ~/Sessions
}
complete -F _vims_autocomplete -o nospace vims
# This way allow me to create different alias using the same autocomplete
gogit()
{
cd ~/git/$1
}
_gogit_autocomplete()
{
_autocomplete "$1" "$2" "$3" ~/git
}
complete -F _gogit_autocomplete -o nospace gogit
