VueR
(pronounced viewer)
VueR is a Vue.js inspired reactive frontend framework in ruby. It allows for the same kind of declaritive change management as vue, albeit in smaller scope. Many vue-like features work, and work continues, but the current scope is personal, so it's not meant as a vue.js replacement.
Usage
The usage is very close to the original, with off course ruby style. This means currently working are:
- reactive attributes
- reactive text
- class based data
- class based method
- event dispatch to methods
The current and supported use is for making rails pages dynamic. An application is defined by deriving from a base class, and can be "mounted" on an element.
There is a syntax to define Event handlers which are methods on the application. Methods change the data. And any attributes or text that is declared as part of the html will be updated automatically if needed.

Installation
Installation is straightforward by including the gem and bundling
You can have a main js entry point, or many, it depends a bit. You can also read the opal-rails to get a feel for how to work with ruby in the frontend.
I use haml, so the usage is then:
- add the requires to the application.js
- write the application inside the haml template using :opal filter
