React Star Rating System Docs

• Component Name: StarRatingSystem
• Component Interface:
  • hoverColor: string; // yellow
  • clickColor: string; // gold
  • defaultColor: string; // lightGray
  • numberOfStars: number; // 5
  • svg: { width: string; height: string; viewBox: string; svgProps: { ...rest } // any component props; pathProps: { ...rest } // any component props; }; // default undefined... Allows you to customize the SVG being used.
  • container: ReactNode | ReactNode[]; // undefined
  • customClick: (clickRating?: number) => void; // () => {}... Allows you to perform custom behaviour on click
  • customHover: (hoverRating?: number) => void; // () => {}... Allows you to perform custom behaviour on hover (like a network call)
  • customSubmit: (rating?: number) => void // undefined, relies on isCustomSubmit to be true to work... Allows you to perform custom behaviour on submit, like if you wanted to submit the rating result at a later time and attach to your own click handler
  • defaultRating: number; // default 0
  • shouldResetWhenNotHovered: boolean // false... resets stars to default color and rating (doesn't work if you provide a default rating)
  • shouldResetWhenNotClicked: boolean; // false... resets starts to default color and rating when you click on something that isn't stars themself (doesn't apply if you provide defaultRating)
  • isCustomSubmit: boolean; // false, I recommend setting this props with a click handler rather than using a plain boolean value. You could do the below:
  • const handleClick = (val) => { setIsCustomSubmit(true); // if defaultRating is set in the customSubmit function, then you don't need to setIsCustomSubmit back to false // if you don't use defaultRating prop after submitting, then you'll need to find a way to set isCustomSubmit back to false to prevent the UI from re-rendering over and over an infinite amount of times... Here is one way to do that, by adding this code to this function. setTimeout(() => { setIsCustomSubmit(false); }, 0); };

Example of Package Being Used

export default function App() {
  const [data, setData] = useState({title: '', id: 0});
  const [rating, setRating] = useState(0);
  const [isCustomSubmit, setIsCustomSubmit] = useState(false);

  const customClick = async (clickRating: number) => {
    console.log("click", clickRating);

    if (clickRating) {
      fetch(
        // must await the custom click function at the declaration level too
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/" + clickRating
      )
        .then((response) =>
          response.json().then((r) => {
            console.log(r);
            setData(r);
            setRating(clickRating);
          })
        )
        .then((json) => console.log(json));

      return console.log(clickRating);
    }
  };

  const customSubmit = async (rating: number) => {
    console.log("submit", rating);

    if (rating) {
      fetch(
        // must await the custom click function at the declaration level too
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/" + rating
      )
        .then((response) =>
          response.json().then((r) => {
            console.log(r);
            setData(r);
            setRating(rating);
          })
        )
        .then((json) => console.log(json));

      return console.log(rating);
    }
  };

  const customHover = async (hoverRating: number) => {
    console.log("hover", hoverRating);

    if (hoverRating) {
      return fetch(
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/" + hoverRating
      ).then((response) =>
        response.json().then((r) => {
          console.log(r);
        })
      );
    }
  };

  const handleClick = () => {
    setIsCustomSubmit(true);
    setTimeout(() => {
      setIsCustomSubmit(false);
    }, 0); // since it's wrapped in a timeout, it sets it to false after the render, giving the prop time to be true until the submit function is completed.
  };
