# star-rating.js

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/star-rating.js.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/star-rating.js)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](https://github.com/pryley/star-rating.js/blob/master/LICENSE)

A zero-dependency library that transforms a select with numerical-range values (i.e. 1-5) into a dynamic star rating element.

For production, use the files from the `dist/` folder.

## Installation

```js
npm i star-rating.js
```

## Usage

Your SELECT option fields must have numerical values.

```html

Select a rating
Excellent
Very Good
Average
Poor
Terrible

var stars = new StarRating('.star-rating');

```

To rebuild all star rating controls (e.g. after form fields have changed with ajax):

```js
stars.rebuild();
```

To fully remove all star rating controls, including all attached Event Listeners:

```js
stars.destroy();
```

## Options

Here are the default options

```js
{
classNames: {
active: 'gl-active',
base: 'gl-star-rating',
selected: 'gl-selected',
},
clearable: true,
maxStars: 10,
prebuilt: false,
stars: null,
tooltip: 'Select a Rating',
}
```

### classNames.active

Type: `String`

The classname to use for the active (hovered or value <= of the selected value) state of a star.

### classNames.base

Type: `String`

The classname to use for the base element that wraps the star rating.

### classNames.selected

Type: `String`

The classname to use for the selected state of a star.

### clearable

Type: `Boolean`

Whether or not the star rating can be cleared by clicking on an already selected star.

### maxStars:

Type: `Integer`

The maximum number of stars allowed in a star rating.

### prebuilt:

Type: `Boolean`

If this option is `true`, only the event listeners will be added and no DOM manipulation will take place. You will need to ensure that the DOM looks something like this:

```html


Select a rating
5 Stars
4 Stars
3 Stars
2 Stars
1 Star









```

### stars:

Type: `Function`

This can be used to add a SVG image to each star value instead of using the background images in the CSS.

### tooltip:

Type: `String|False`

The placeholder text for the rating tooltip, or `false` to disable the tooltip.

## Build

```sh
npm install
npm run build
```

The compiled files will be saved in the `dist/` folder.

**Note:** If importing this into your project, you will need to add [@babel/plugin-proposal-optional-chaining](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@babel/plugin-proposal-optional-chaining) to your babel config.

### Style Customization

Following are the default CSS variable values for Star Rating:

```css
:root {
--gl-star-color: #fdd835; /* if using SVG images */
--gl-star-color-inactive: #dcdce6; /* if using SVG images */
--gl-star-empty: url(../img/star-empty.svg); /* if using background images */
--gl-star-full: url(../img/star-full.svg); /* if using background images */
--gl-star-size: 24px;
--gl-tooltip-background: rgba(17,17,17, .9);
--gl-tooltip-border-radius: 4px;
--gl-tooltip-color: #fff;
--gl-tooltip-font-size: 0.875rem;
--gl-tooltip-font-weight: 400;
--gl-tooltip-line-height: 1;
--gl-tooltip-margin: 12px;
--gl-tooltip-padding: .5em 1em;
}
```

To override any values with your own, simply import the CSS file into your project, then enter new CSS variable values after the import.

```css
@import 'star-rating';

:root {
--gl-star-size: 32px;
}
```

### How to change CSS style priority

Sometimes an existing stylesheet rules will override the default CSS styles for Star Ratings. To solve this problem, you can use the [postcss-selector-namespace](https://github.com/topaxi/postcss-selector-namespace) plugin in your PostCSS build on the CSS file before combining with your main stylesheet. This namespace value should be a high priority/specificity property such as an id attribute or similar.

## Compatibility

- All modern browsers

If you need to use the Star Rating library in a unsupported browser (i.e. Internet Explorer), use the [Polyfill service](https://polyfill.io).

## Tips

1. If your star rating has a label field, add the `pointer-events: none;` style to it to prevent the focus event from triggering on touch devices.

All changes should be committed to the files in `src/`.
