Rating
An accessible star rating slider with half-star support, keyboard navigation, and an optional hidden form value.
Preview
Click a star or use arrow keys to set a rating.
Step = 0.5 enables half-star increments.
Non-interactive display of an existing rating.
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add rating
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/rating.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './rating.js';

Guidance
Visible exclusive selectionChoose one option from a small visible set.
Use when
- Use for a small set of mutually exclusive options that users should compare visibly before choosing. Do not hide a small option set in a dropdown when recognition and comparison matter.
Avoid when
- Avoid using rating as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- micro
- Interaction cost
- low
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- constrained
- Mobile / touch risk
- low
- Accessibility risk
- medium
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- Yes
Preferred alternatives
- Select or combobox for long option sets
Anti-patterns
- Hiding a small comparable set in a dropdown

Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
Source
The exact, editable file ui:add writes
into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews
render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
