## What it is
A Node.js/TypeScript library for generating customized Apple Wallet passes (.pkpass files) for iOS and WatchOS. It separates static pass models (images, templates) from dynamic data (barcodes, serial numbers, translations) and handles signing and manifest generation.

## Use cases
- generate Apple Wallet passes in Node.js
- create .pkpass files for iOS
- build boarding passes or coupons for Apple Wallet
- generate signed wallet passes from a template
- programmatically create event tickets for Apple Wallet

## When to choose
- you need to generate Apple Wallet passes server-side in Node.js
- you want a maintained, documented library with template/model separation
- you need runtime patching of dynamic pass data like barcodes and serial numbers

## When to avoid
- you need to generate Google Wallet or Android passes
- you work outside the Node.js ecosystem
- you need to host the Apple Wallet web service itself (see the author's companion toolkits instead)
