+## Configuration
+
+The below source configuration options are available. To set any of these options, do:
+
+```lua
+cmp.setup({
+  sources = {
+    {
+      name = 'path',
+      option = {
+        -- Options go into this table
+      },
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+
+### trailing_slash (type: boolean)
+
+_Default:_ `false`
+
+Specify if completed directory names should include a trailing slash. Enabling this option makes this source behave like Vim's built-in path completion.
