react-rating-stars-component ⭐️

Forked from react-stars: https://github.com/n49/react-stars

A simple star rating component for your React projects (now with half stars and custom characters)

DEMO: https://codesandbox.io/s/elegant-mountain-w3ngk?file=/src/App.js

Get started quickly

Install react-stars package with NPM:

npm install react-rating-stars-component --save

Then in your project include the component:

import ReactStars from "react-rating-stars-component";
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
 
const ratingChanged = (newRating) => {
  console.log(newRating);
};
 
render(
  <ReactStars
    count={5}
    onChange={ratingChanged}
    size={24}
    activeColor="#ffd700"
  />,
 
  document.getElementById("where-to-render")
);

Or use other elements as icons:

We do not support CSS for other third party libraries like fontawesome in this case. So you must import it by urself.

import ReactStars from "react-rating-stars-component";
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
 
const ratingChanged = (newRating) => {
  console.log(newRating);
};
 
render(
  <ReactStars
    count={5}
    onChange={ratingChanged}
    size={24}
    isHalf={true}
    emptyIcon={<i className="far fa-star"></i>}
    halfIcon={<i className="fa fa-star-half-alt"></i>}
    fullIcon={<i className="fa fa-star"></i>}
    activeColor="#ffd700"
  />,
 
  document.getElementById("where-to-render")
);

Requirements

You will need to have React in your project in order to use the component, I didn't bundle React in the build, because it seemed like a crazy idea.

Todo

• Make better docs
• Better state management
• Write tests
