React Star Ratings

Customizable react star ratings. SVG stars that show aggregate star ratings to the hundreths decimal point.

Install

npm install --save react-star-ratings

Heads up

I made a better version (in my opinion at least) of this repo right here: react-ratings-declarative

It is a lot more extendable and customizable.

Usage

import StarRatings from './react-star-ratings';

class Foo extends Component {
    changeRating( newRating, name ) {
      this.setState({
        rating: newRating
      });
    }

    render() {
      // rating = 2;
      return (
        <StarRatings
          rating={this.state.rating}
          starRatedColor="blue"
          changeRating={this.changeRating}
          numberOfStars={6}
          name='rating'
        />
      );
    }
}


class Bar extends Component {
  render() {
    // aggregateRating = 2.35;
    return (
      <StarRatings
        rating={2.403}
        starDimension="40px"
        starSpacing="15px"
      />
    );
  }
}

Browser Support

Supports Chrome, firefox, safari, edge, and ie 9+. The star is SVG, so this library fails for any browser that doesn't support svg.

Potential Gradient Path Name Issue

I use the css property fill: 'url(#starGrad<randomNum>)'; to fill in just a percentage of a star. It has some weird bugs depending on the pathname of the app. Normally SPA's have window.location.pathname === '/', but if you append window.location.origin with the pathname of say app, so that window.location.pathname === '/app/', then you need a gradientPathName of '/app/'.

Here is a stackoverflow post that I found that was related to this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36774188/svg-internal-url-links-and-iframes-on-wirecloud

Try Example And Contribute

To try out the example in this repo: First clone this repo. And then using a complicated build set up stolen from TJ you run make start and go to port 5000. I actually used a forked version of that with slight changes that makes it easier to build multiple files. The only change I made pertains to how the babel cli is used

If you want to contribute: Make changes in the src folder. And then run make build. And of course test by running make start. The make build command compiles react and es6 stuff using babel from src/ into build/. (make start currently broken. instead cd in test folder and run npm run start)
