This is the VScript API for SteamVR Home.

Accessing the Scripting API from Lua

While Lua is dynamically typed, the Source 2 engine is written primarily in C++, which is statically typed. Thus, you'll need to be conscious of your data types when calling the API. (If you try to pass the wrong type to an API function, you'll get an error message in Vconsole telling you what you passed and what it was expecting.)
