new-react-stars v2.2.8
react-stars :star:
A simple star rating component for your React projects (now with half stars and custom characters)
This is a Fork
This is a fork of the original react-stars project. The original project is no longer maintained and I needed to add some features to it. I will try to keep this fork up to date with the original project.
Changes
- Migrate source code to TypeScript
- Added storybook for development
- Added rollup for building
- Functional component instead of class component
- Support for react 19
Issues Fixed
- Warning: componentWillReceiveProps has been renamed
- Prop 'dangerouslySetInnerHTML' did not match.
- Others? ...
Get started quickly
Install react-stars package with NPM:
npm install new-react-stars --save
Then in your project include the component:
import ReactStars from 'new-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 |
---|---|---|---|
className | Name of parent class | null | string |
count | How many total stars you want | 5 | number |
value | Set rating value | 0 | 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 |
Help improve the component
Build on your machine:
# Clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:n49/react-stars.git
# Go into project folder
cd react-stars
# Install dependancies
npm install
Build the component:
npm build
Run the examples (dev):
npm run dev-example
Build the examples (production):
npm run build-example
Then in your browser go to: http://127.0.0.1:8080/example
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
