Star rating component for your React projects

react-stars

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 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')
);

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

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
