# <rating> Development


The **<rating>** component provides a rating bar used for reviews and ratings. For details, see [rating](../reference/arkui-js/js-components-basic-rating.md).


## Creating a <rating> Component

Create a **<rating>** component in the .hml file under **pages/index**.


```
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <rating></rating>
</div>
```


```
/* xxx.css */
.container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
rating {
  width: 80%;
  height: 150px;
}
```

## Setting the Rating Level

Use the **&lt;rating&gt;** component to set the number of stars in a rating bar and the current rating using the **numstars** and **rating** attributes, respectively.


```
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <ratingnumstars="6" rating="5">
  </rating>
</div>
```


```
/* xxx.css */
.container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
rating {
  width: 80%;
  height: 150px;
}
```

## Setting the Rating Style

Use the **&lt;rating&gt;** component to set the background images when a rating star is unselected, selected, and partially selected using the **star-background**, **star-foreground**, and **star-secondary** attributes, respectively.


```
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <div style="width: 500px;height: 500px;align-items: center;justify-content: center;flex-direction: column;;">
    <rating numstars="5" rating="1" class="myrating" style="width: {{ratewidth}}; height:{{rateheight}};
    star-background: {{backstar}}; star-secondary: {{secstar}};star-foreground: {{forestar}};rtl-flip: true;">
    </rating>
  </div>
</div>
```


```
/* xxx.css */
.container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
```


```
/* index.js */
export default {
  data: {
    backstar: 'common/love.png',
    secstar: 'common/love.png',
    forestar: 'common/love1.png',
    ratewidth: '400px',
    rateheight: '150px'
  },
  onInit(){
  }
}
```

> ![icon-note.gif](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:**
> - You must set **star-background**, **star-secondary**, and **star-foreground**. Otherwise, the grey rating star applies, indicating that the image source is incorrectly set.
> 
> - The **star-background**, **star-secondary**, and **star-foreground** attributes support only PNG and JPG images in the local path.


## Binding Events

Add the **change** event to the &lt;rating&gt; component to print the current rating.


```
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <rating numstars="5" rating="0" onchange="showrating"></rating>
</div>
```


```
.container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
rating {
  width: 80%;
  height: 150px;
}
```


```
import prompt from '@system.prompt';
export default {
  showrating(e) {
    prompt.showToast({
      message:'Current Rating' + e.rating
    })
  }
}
```

## Example Scenario

Change the switch status to toggle between the star background images and drag the slider to adjust the rating values.


```
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div style="width: 100%;height:100%;flex-direction: column;align-items: center;background-color: #F1F3F5;">
  <div style="width: 500px;height: 500px;align-items: center;justify-content: center;flex-direction: column;;">
    <rating numstars="{{stars}}" rating="{{rate}}" stepsize="{{step}}" onchange="showrating" class="myrating"
    style="width: {{ratewidth}};height:{{rateheight}};star-background: {{backstar}};star-secondary: {{secstar}};
    star-foreground: {{forestar}};rtl-flip: true;"></rating>
  </div>
  <div style="flex-direction: column;width: 80%;align-items: center;">
    <div style="width: 100%;height: 100px;align-items: center;justify-content: space-around;">
      <text>Replacing a custom image</text>
      <switch checked="false" showtext="true" onchange="setstar"></switch>
    </div>
    <div style="width: 100%;height:120px;margin-top: 50px;margin-bottom: 50px;flex-direction: column;align-items: center;
    justify-content: space-around;">
      <text>numstars   {{stars}}</text>
      <slider id="sli1" min="-1" max="10" value="5" step="1" onchange="setnumstars"></slider>
    </div>
    <div style="width: 100%;height:120px;flex-direction: column;align-items: center;justify-content: space-around;">
      <text>rating   {{rate}}</text>
      <slider id="sli2" min="-1" max="10" value="0" step="1" onchange="setrating"></slider>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```


```
/* xxx.css */
.myrating:active {
  width: 500px;
  height: 100px;
}
switch{
  font-size: 40px;
}
```


```
/* index.js */
import prompt from '@system.prompt';
export default {
  data: {
    backstar: '',
    secstar: '',
    forestar: '',
    stars: 5,

    if (e.checked == true) {
      this.backstar = 'common/love.png'
      this.secstar = 'common/love.png'
      this.forestar = 'common/love1.png'
    } else {
      this.backstar = ''
      this.secstar = ''
      this.forestar = ''
    }
  },
  setnumstars(e) {
    this.stars = e.progress
    this.ratewidth = 60 * parseInt(this.stars) + 'px'
  },
  setstep(e) {
    this.step = e.progress
  },
  setrating(e){
    this.rate = e.progress
  },
  showrating(e) {
    prompt.showToast({
      message:'Current Rating' + e.rating
    })
  }
}
