react-stars :star:

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

Get started quickly

Install react-stars package with NPM:

npm install @jongleberry/react-stars --save

Then in your project include the component:

import ReactStars from 'react-stars'
import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'

const ratingChanged = (newRating) => {
  console.log(newRating)
}

render(<ReactStars
  count={5},
  onChange={ratingChanged},
  size={24},
  color2={'#ffd700'} />,

  document.getElementById('where-to-render')
);

API

This a list of props that you can pass down to the component:

| Property | Description | Default value | type | | -------- | ----------- | ------------- | ---- | | count | How many total stars you want | 5 | number | | char | Which character you want to use as a star | ★ | string | | color1 | Color of inactive star (this supports any CSS valid value) | gray | string | | color2 | Color of selected or active star | #ffd700 | string | | size | Size of stars (in px) | 15px | string | | edit | Should you be able to select rating or just see rating (for reusability) | true | boolean | | half | Should component use half stars, if not the decimal part will be dropped otherwise normal algebra rools will apply to round to half stars | true | boolean | onChange(new_rating) | Will be invoked any time the rating is changed | null | function |

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
