Rating

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

Theme
Surface
Direction
Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal
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):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS
import './rating.js';

Guidance

Visible exclusive selection

Choose 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.

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels
  • Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
  • Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
  • Focus-visible rings use the ring token 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.
