General Topology, chapter II, § 3. Complete spaces

*Let AA be a dense subset of a topological space XX, and let ff be a mapping of AA into a complete Hausdorff uniform space X′X'. Then ff can be extended by continuity to XX if and only if, for each x∈Xx \in X, the image under ff of the trace on AA of the neighbourhood filter of xx in XX is a Cauchy filter base in X′X'.

This follows from the theorem of extension by continuity (loc. cit.) because X′X' is regular (§ 1, no. 2, Proposition 3) and because on X′X' convergent filters are the same as Cauchy filters.

When XX is also a uniform space, there is the following theorem:

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
