A companion library in JavaScript for the Fallout 4 pip boy app.
This is a node library, so you'll need node and npm. If, like Nick Valentine, you're close to the metal:
npm install pipboylib
In order for this library to have any utility, you'll need a running Fallout 4 game with the pip-boy app enabled. It only works on PS4 and PC at the moment (see pipboylib#27).

})See examples or the Electron app, pipboy, for more examples.
