6 years ago While explicit R examples are always helpful to minimize context switching, using vue/react/jquery/vanilla JS with fiery will be much the same as interacting with any RESTful API.
Realistically, there will be tons more examples of using
For example, given this tutorial: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/02/15/build-crud-app-vuejs-node
The fiery part would replace the node backend API server https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/02/15/build-crud-app-vuejs-node#add-a-backend-rest-api-server
The frontend code would literally remain completely unchanged whether using fiery or node or any other backend service.
I know this isn't an answer directly, but at least it should be helpful to know that there are a ton of resources that can still push you along to minimize the "uncharted" territory.

I was looking at some of the tutorials at https://vuejs.org and was very interested to see that vue.js is reactive. Reactivity is, of course, one of Shiny's killer features. I started looking around to see if anyone had tried to link vue.js and R (or fiery).
@hrbrmstr's fiery example provides a nice illustration of using fiery but it would be great to see how to connect that to a basic user front-end, e.g., using vue.js. @timelyportfolio has some interesting work on embedding vue.js in R (https://github.com/timelyportfolio/vueR) but I haven't seen anything that uses R server-side and vue.js on the client side.
If anyone has an example of using R / fiery with vue.js I'd be very interested to see it.
In general, I think some (simple) examples using fiery to show how to generate plots and tables in a browser would make this very promising tool much more accessible.
