How to use a tab to create a list of possible entries in my folder?

I use iTerm on my mac and ZSH and about my zsh with the theme dstufft

I wrote this in my .bash_rc

 function goToPythonApp {
        # no params given
        if [ -z "$1" ]; then
            cd ~/Documents/Apps/PythonApps
        else
            cd ~/Documents/Apps/PythonApps/$1
        fi
   }

so i can print goToPythonApp abc

Then i will switch to ~/Documents/Apps/PythonApps/abc

But sometimes I forget the name of the folder in ~/Documents/Apps/PythonApps/

Is there an input method goToPythonApp, then click <space>, then click <tab>to generate a list of entries in ~/Documents/Apps/PythonApps/?

Similar to how ZSH (or oh-my-zsh) can autocomplete for half-printed commands?

Either this, or I can type goToPythonApp ab, then press <tab>, and automatically complete the sentence abc, which is a valid entry in the folder ~/Documents/Apps/PythonApps/?

UPDATE

The method used suggested in the answer below I received command not found for complete.

autoload bashcompinit && bashcompinit, .bash_rc file
