PropTypeDefaultDescription
RatingcomponentnullProvides rating state and renders its children in an inline-flex radiogroup. Children are cloned and receive their zero-based index automatically.
defaultValuenumber | undefined0Initial value for uncontrolled usage.
valuenumber | undefinedundefinedControlled rating value.
onChange(event: MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement> | KeyboardEvent<HTMLButtonElement>, value: number) => voidundefinedCalled when an editable rating changes through a click or ArrowLeft/ArrowRight keyboard action.
onValueChange(value: number) => voidundefinedCalled with the new rating value when the rating changes.
readOnlyboolean | undefinedfalseDisables interaction and button focus when true.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional class names applied to the rating container.
childrenReactNode | undefinedundefinedRatingButton elements rendered as the rating items.
RatingButtoncomponentnullRenders one button and icon within a Rating component. The parent injects its zero-based index.
indexnumber | undefinedundefinedOptional zero-based item index. When rendered as a Rating child, Rating replaces it with the child position.
iconReactElement<LucideProps> | undefined<StarIcon />Lucide icon element cloned and rendered for the rating item.
sizenumber | string | undefined20Lucide icon size.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedAdditional class names applied to the RatingButton button; the icon receives its own internal class names.
LucidePropsinheritednullRatingButton also accepts the remaining LucideProps because its props type extends LucideProps, although the component explicitly uses size, className, index, and icon.
Accessibility
- The rating container uses role="radiogroup" and aria-label="Rating".
- Each rating item is a native button with type="button".
- In editable mode, roving tab navigation gives tabIndex=0 to the button matching the current value and -1 to the other buttons.
- ArrowRight and ArrowLeft change the value and move focus; Shift or Meta plus the arrow jumps to the maximum or minimum item.
- Read-only mode disables all rating buttons and prevents interaction.
- The icon is marked aria-hidden="true"; the container's generic accessible name is always "Rating" and does not expose a numeric label.
