React Native Rating

An interactive rating component for React Native, which can display ratings using stars, hearts, emojis, or custom symbols of your choice. The component leverages the PanResponder and Animated APIs to create high-performing animations. It is written in TypeScript and has zero dependencies. Whether you’re building a review-based app, a rating system, or any application that requires user feedback, React Native Rating will be an invaluable addition to your toolkit.

Example Usage

import React, { useCallback, useState } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Rating } from '@kolking/react-native-rating';

const App = () => {
  const [rating, setRating] = useState(0);

  const handleChange = useCallback(
    (value: number) => setRating(Math.round((rating + value) * 5) / 10),
    [rating],
  );

  return (
    <View style={styles.root}>
      <Rating size={40} rating={rating} onChange={handleChange} />
      <Text style={styles.text}>Rated {rating} out of 5</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  root: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  text: {
    fontSize: 17,
    marginTop: 20,

Performance

When rendering a lot of rating components on the same screen, e.g. in a FlatList or SectionList, make sure to set the disabled prop to true. Otherwise you may encounter the "excessive number of pending callbacks" warning.

Symbols

To achieve a customized appearance for the component, you have the flexibility to define your own symbols using the baseSymbol and fillSymbol props. The SymbolSource type is defined as ImageSourcePropType | ImageSourcePropType[], allowing you to pass either a single image source or an array of images. It is important to note that when passing an array, its length must match the maxRating value to ensure proper functionality.

Variants

There are five pre-defined design variants available for selection. All of the variants are designed to support both light and dark color schemes. In addition, you have the flexibility to override any of the variant props with your own custom values.
