<quiet-rating> stable since 1.0

  value="4"

</quiet-rating>

Examples Jump to heading

Labels and descriptions Jump to heading

You can use the label and description attributes to provide plain text labels and descriptions for the rating. If you want to provide HTML, use the label and description slots instead.

For details, please visit our website.
<quiet-rating name="name" label="How would you rate our catnip?">
  <span slot="description">
    For details, please <a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">visit our website</a>.
  </span>
</quiet-rating>

Providing an initial value Jump to heading

Use the value attribute to provide an initial value for the rating.

<quiet-rating 
  name="food" 
  label="Food quality" 
  value="3"
></quiet-rating>

Changing the scale Jump to heading

Ratings use a scale of 1–5 by default. You can change this by setting the max attribute.

<quiet-rating 
  name="litter" 
  label="Cleanliness of litter box area" 
  max="3" 
  value="3"
></quiet-rating>

Fractional values Jump to heading

You can enable fractional values by setting the step attribute. For example, 0.5 will allow half-star ratings.

<quiet-rating 
  name="stars"
  label="Half-stars are fine" 
  step=".5" 
  value="2.5"
></quiet-rating>

Changing the size Jump to heading

Use the size attribute to change the rating's size.





<quiet-rating size="xs" label="Extra small"></quiet-rating><br>
<quiet-rating size="sm" label="Small"></quiet-rating><br>
<quiet-rating size="md" label="Medium"></quiet-rating><br>
<quiet-rating size="lg" label="Large"></quiet-rating><br>
<quiet-rating size="xl" label="Extra large"></quiet-rating>

Using custom symbols Jump to heading

To customize the symbols shown, use JavaScript to set the getSymbol property to a function that returns the HTML for each symbol. The function will receive the value and isSelected arguments that you can use to customize the symbol based on specific values or whether the symbol is in the selected state.

<quiet-rating 
  label="Show some love" 
  id="rating__custom-symbols" 
  value="3"
  style="
    --symbol-selected-color: deeppink;
    --symbol-unselected-color: gray;
  "
></quiet-rating>

<script>
  const rating = document.getElementById('rating__custom-symbols');

  rating.getSymbol = (value, isSelected) => {
    return isSelected ? 
      `<quiet-icon family="filled" name="heart"></quiet-icon>` : 
      `<quiet-icon family="outline" name="heart"></quiet-icon>`;
  }
</script>
<quiet-rating 
  label="How satisfied are you?" 
  id="rating__numbers" 
  value="3"
  style="--symbol-selected-color: dodgerblue;"
></quiet-rating>

<script>
  const rating = document.getElementById('rating__numbers');

  rating.getSymbol = (value, isSelected) => {
    const family = isSelected ? 'filled' : 'outline';
    return `<quiet-icon family="${family}" name="square-number-${value}"></quiet-icon>`
  }
</script>
<quiet-rating 
  label="How satisfied are you?" 
  id="rating__diamonds" 
  value="3"
  style="--symbol-selected-color: #2bb7d1;"
></quiet-rating>

<script>
  const rating = document.getElementById('rating__diamonds');

  rating.getSymbol = (value, isSelected) => {
    const family = isSelected ? 'filled' : 'outline';
    const name = isSelected ? 'diamond' : 'point'
    return `<quiet-icon family="${family}" name="${name}"></quiet-icon>`
  }
</script>

You should only return trusted HTML from the getSymbol() function, otherwise you may become vulnerable to XSS exploits.

Readonly ratings Jump to heading

Use the readonly attribute to make the rating read-only.

<quiet-rating label="Read-only" value="4" readonly></quiet-rating>

Disabling Jump to heading

Use the disabled attribute to disable the rating.

<quiet-rating label="Disabled" value="4" disabled></quiet-rating>

Validation Jump to heading

The required attribute can be applied to enable validation using the Constraint Validation API . This will prevent form submission until a non-zero value is selected.


Submit Reset
<form action="about:blank" method="get" target="_blank">
  <quiet-rating name="required" label="Required" required></quiet-rating><br>
  <quiet-button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</quiet-button>
  <quiet-button type="reset">Reset</quiet-button>
</form>

Using custom validation Jump to heading

Use the custom-validity attribute to make the rating invalid and show a custom error message on submit. This will override all other validation parameters. To clear the error, remove the attribute or set it to an empty string.


Submit
<form action="about:blank" method="get" target="_blank">
  <quiet-rating 
    name="food" 
    label="Food quality" 
    value="3"
    custom-validity="Not so fast, bubba!"
  ></quiet-rating>
  <br>
  <quiet-button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</quiet-button>
</form>

Most validation attributes work exactly like their native counterparts. However, the custom-validity attribute is offered in lieu of the setCustomValidity() method. This allows you to declaratively set custom errors instead of having to call a method with JavaScript.

Styling validation Jump to heading

You can style valid and invalid ratings using the :valid and :invalid pseudo classes.


Submit Reset
<form action="about:blank" method="get" target="_blank" class="rating__validation-pseudo">
  <quiet-rating 
    name="food" 
    label="Food quality" 
    description="This field is required."
    required
  ></quiet-rating>
  <br>
  <quiet-button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</quiet-button>
  <quiet-button type="reset">Reset</quiet-button>
</form>

<style>
  .rating__validation-pseudo {
    quiet-rating:valid {
      outline: solid 2px var(--quiet-constructive-stroke-mid);
      outline-offset: .5rem;
    }

    quiet-rating:invalid {
      outline: solid 2px var(--quiet-destructive-stroke-mid);
      outline-offset: .5rem;
    }
  }
</style>

However, these selectors will match even before the user has had a chance to fill out the form. More often than not, you'll want to use the user-valid and user-invalid custom states instead. This way, validation styles are only shown after the user interacts with the form control or when the form is submitted.


Submit Reset
<form action="about:blank" method="get" target="_blank" class="rating__validation-custom">
  <quiet-rating 
    name="food" 
    label="Food quality" 
    description="This field is required."
    required
  ></quiet-rating>
  <br>
  <quiet-button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</quiet-button>
  <quiet-button type="reset">Reset</quiet-button>
</form>

<style>
  .rating__validation-custom {
    quiet-rating:state(user-valid) {
      outline: solid 2px var(--quiet-constructive-stroke-mid);
      outline-offset: .5rem;
    }

    quiet-rating:state(user-invalid) {
      outline: solid 2px var(--quiet-destructive-stroke-mid);
      outline-offset: .5rem;
    }
  }
</style>
