pnpm add @smastrom/react-rating
yarn add @smastrom/react-rating
npm i @smastrom/react-rating
import { Rating } from '@smastrom/react-rating'
import '@smastrom/react-rating/style.css'
Importing the CSS only once (most likely main.js or App.jsx) is enough to use Rating in any other component of your App.

Type Definition
type RatingChange =
| React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<number>>
| ((selectedValue: number) => void | Promise<void>)
If your app doesn't require any custom logic/state to set the rating, you can simply pass the setter to onChange
:
function App() {
const [rating, setRating] = useState(0)
return <Rating value={rating} onChange={setRating} />
}
If you need to perform actions while setting the rating (like calling an API) or you need to update a complex state, onChange
accepts a callback whose only parameter equals to the selected rating:
function App() {
const [state, setState] = useState({
review: '',
rating: 0 // Initial value
})
function handleChange(selectedValue) {
// 1. Logs the selected rating (1, 2, 3...)
console.log(selectedValue)
// 2. Do something with or without the value...
// 3. Update Rating UI
setState((prevState) => ({
...prevState,
rating: selectedValue
}))
}
return <Rating onChange={handleChange} value={state.rating} />
}
By default, the user is able to reset the rating (from 1-5 to 0 and vice versa):
Interaction | Reset action | Preview |
---|---|---|
Mouse | By clicking again on the selected rating item | |
Keyboard | By navigating to an invisible reset radio |
💡 Don't like the default focus style? Check here how to customize it.
There could be scenarios where you want to force the user to express a rating (e.g. review page, post-service rating).
In such cases, set isRequired
to true:
<Rating isRequired value={rating} onChange={setRating} />
-
It is not possible to reset by clicking again on the selected rating or by using the invisible radio.
-
It is announced by screen readers that rating is required.
-
If value equals to 0, it is announced by screen readers that rating is invalid .

This package ships with six of the most common (open source) rating shapes that you can import and use:
Import Name | Preview | Collection / Author |
---|---|---|
Star |
Feather | |
ThinStar |
Raphael | |
RoundedStar |
Phosphor | |
ThinRoundedStar |
SVG Repo | |
StickerStar |
Raphael | |
Heart |
Feather |
import { Rating, ThinStar } from '@smastrom/react-rating'
// Declare it outside your component so it doesn't get re-created
const myStyles = {
itemShapes: ThinStar,
activeFillColor: '#ffb700',
inactiveFillColor: '#fbf1a9'
}
function App() {
const [rating, setRating] = useState(0)
return (
<Rating style={{ maxWidth: 300 }} value={rating} onChange={setRating} itemStyles={myStyles} />
)
}
Customizable properties
You can pass an object with the following properties to itemStyles
prop:
type ItemStyles = {
itemShapes: JSX.Element | JSX.Element[]
itemStrokeWidth?: number
boxBorderWidth?: number
activeFillColor?: string | string[]
activeStrokeColor?: string | string[]
activeBoxColor?: string | string[]
activeBoxBorderColor?: string | string[]
inactiveFillColor?: string
inactiveStrokeColor?: string
inactiveBoxColor?: string
inactiveBoxBorderColor?: string
}
Besides itemShapes
, all the properties are optional. If a property isn't defined, no classes nor CSS variables will be added to the SVG.
Just set the ones you need and that's it:
const CustomStar = (
<polygon points="478.53 189 318.53 152.69 239.26 0 160 152.69 0 189 111.02 303.45 84 478.53 239.26 396.63 394.53 478.53 367.51 303.45 478.53 189" />
)
const myStyles = {
itemShapes: CustomStar,
activeFillColor: '#22C55E',
inactiveFillColor: '#BBF7D0'
}
function App() {
const [rating, setRating] = useState(4)
return (
<Rating style={{ maxWidth: 300 }} value={rating} onChange={setRating} itemStyles={myStyles} />
)
}
All you have to do is to open the SVG with a text editor, grab the inner shapes and delete any attribute except for geometric and transform ones.
If the SVG comes from quality sources such as any collection you can find on Icônes, all you have to do is to delete a couple of fill and stroke attributes (if any):
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16">
<path
fill="currentColor"
stroke="2"
stroke-linecap="round"
stroke-linejoin="round"
d="M3.612 15.443c-.386.198-.824-.149-.746-.592l.83-4.73L.173 6.765c-.329-.314-.158-.888.283-.95l4.898-.696L7.538.792c.197-.39.73-.39.927 0l2.184 4.327 4.898.696c.441.062.612.636.282.95l-3.522 3.356.83 4.73c.078.443-.36.79-.746.592L8 13.187l-4.389 2.256z"
/>
</svg>
Then define a JSX element to render the shapes. Rating will take care of rendering a brand-new, responsive SVG for you:
const CustomStar = (
<path d="M3.612 15.443c-.386.198-.824-.149-.746-.592l.83-4.73L.173 6.765c-.329-.314-.158-.888.283-.95l4.898-.696L7.538.792c.197-.39.73-.39.927 0l2.184 4.327 4.898.696c.441.062.612.636.282.95l-3.522 3.356.83 4.73c.078.443-.36.79-.746.592L8 13.187l-4.389 2.256z" />
)
const myStyles = {
itemShapes: CustomStar,
itemStrokeWidth: 2,
activeFillColor: 'LightSeaGreen',
activeStrokeColor: '#99F6E4',
inactiveFillColor: '#99F6E4',
inactiveStrokeColor: 'LightSeaGreen'
}
function App() {
const [rating, setRating] = useState(4)
return (
<Rating style={{ maxWidth: 300 }} value={rating} onChange={setRating} itemStyles={myStyles} />
)
}
Customizable properties
You can pass an object with the following properties to itemStyles
prop:
type ItemStyles = {
itemShapes: JSX.Element | JSX.Element[]
itemStrokeWidth?: number
boxBorderWidth?: number
activeFillColor?: string | string[]
activeStrokeColor?: string | string[]
activeBoxColor?: string | string[]
activeBoxBorderColor?: string | string[]
inactiveFillColor?: string
inactiveStrokeColor?: string
inactiveBoxColor?: string
inactiveBoxBorderColor?: string
}
Besides itemShapes
, all the properties are optional. If a property isn't defined, no classes nor CSS variables will be added to the SVG.
Just set the ones you need and that's it:
const CustomStar = (
<polygon points="478.53 189 318.53 152.69 239.26 0 160 152.69 0 189 111.02 303.45 84 478.53 239.26 396.63 394.53 478.53 367.51 303.45 478.53 189" />
)
const myStyles = {
itemShapes: CustomStar,
activeFillColor: '#22C55E',
inactiveFillColor: '#BBF7D0'
}
function App() {
const [rating, setRating] = useState(4)
return (
<Rating style={{ maxWidth: 300 }} value={rating} onChange={setRating} itemStyles={myStyles} />
)
}
Default styles
import { Star } from '@smastrom/react-rating'
const defaultItemStyles = {
itemShapes: Star,
itemStrokeWidth: 2,
activeFillColor: '#ffb23f',
activeStrokeColor: '#e17b21',
inactiveFillColor: '#fff7ed',
inactiveStrokeColor: '#e17b21'
}
How itemStrokeWidth works
The stroke width is expressed in viewBox user coordinate's unit size and not in pixels.
Depending on the vector nodes provided you may have to input and try different values in order to reach the desired stroke width.
It is responsive by nature, so expect it to increase/decrease when resizing the container.
Color values
You can pass any valid CSS color string such as aliceblue
, #FFF332
, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
or hsl(69, 22, 200)
.
TypeScript
import type { ItemStyles } from '@smastrom/react-rating'
const Star = (
<polygon points="478.53 189 318.53 152.69 239.26 0 160 152.69 0 189 111.02 303.45 84 478.53 239.26 396.63 394.53 478.53 367.51 303.45 478.53 189" />
)
const myStyles: ItemStyles = {
itemShapes: Star,
activeFillColor: 'green',
inactiveFillColor: 'gray'
}
Quick guide for complex or messy SVGs
-
Keep only the groups and the inner shapes of the svg:
g
,path
,circle
,rect
,polygon
,ellipse
,polyline
orline
and delete any other node (e.g.<defs>
). -
If a group is present, check if it has the
transform
attribute set. If the attribute is not set, keep the inner shapes and delete theg
node. -
Delete any attribute except geometric, draw and transform ones from any group and shape.
-
If present, delete any empty node like
<circle></circle>
or<g></g>
.
If you wish to style each rating item, you can optionally pass an array of JSX elements to itemShapes
and an array of valid CSS colors to any active property:

If readOnly
is set to true, the value
prop accepts a float:
<Rating readOnly value={1.38} />
The component will try to round it to the nearest half integer:
3.2 = 3
3.26 = 3.5
3.62 = 3.5
3.75 = 4
⚠️ The value will only be rounded "internally" for graphical purposes. The accessible label will always display the value provided.
If necessary, the SVG will be half-filled by default (halfFillMode = 'svg'
):
All the boxes will have the same background color (inactiveBoxColor) and activeBoxColor
will have no effect.
You can switch between svg
and box
:
<Rating readOnly value={2.38} halfFillMode="box" />
In this case instead, all the shapes will have the same fill color (inactiveFillColor) and activeFillColor
will have no effect.
If you don't want the half-fill feature, simply pass an integer to value
.
⚠️ IfhighlightOnlySelected
is set to true, no half-fill will take place.
React Rating leverages aria radiogroup
role instead of native HTML radio buttons in order to improve keyboard-users experience and extend capabilities (e.g. API calls) by keeping callbacks consistent between keyboard and mouse.
In React Rating:
-
Rating must be confirmed with
Enter/Space
keys and cannot be set directly with arrows like native radios. -
onChange
is called on bothEnter/Space
keys and click. -
onHoverChange
is called on← → ↑ ↓
navigation, mouse hovering, focus-from / blur-to a non-react-rating element.
It is always announced by screen readers instead of being completely hidden.
React Rating ships with default accessible labels computed from your items
value. In order to customize them or to switch to visible ones check the multiple examples on the demo website.
Check that you are importing the CSS as displayed in the Basic usage section.
Check that you are passing a JSX element and not a functional component:
✅ Correct
const Star = <path d="M100,10L40 198 190 78 10 78 160 198z" />
❌ Incorrect
const Star = () => <path d="M100,10L40 198 190 78 10 78 160 198z" />
When passing different shapes for each rating item, this package forces you to use icons from the same collection to keep design consistency. Be sure you are doing that.
You can find clean, SVG collections at Icônes.
It is possible to style them via CSS by targeting the following selectors:
Rating items
.rr--box:focus-visible .rr--svg {
/* Your styles */
}
Reset
.rr--focus-reset {
/* Your styles */
}
Defaults
.rr--focus-reset {
outline: 6px double #0079ff;
}
.rr--box:focus-visible .rr--svg {
outline: 6px double #0079ff;
}
