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:

Then in your project include the component:

import ReactStars from 'react-stars'
import React from 'react'

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

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

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

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
