React MUI Rating Input

React MUI is a UI library that provides fully-loaded components, bringing our own design system to our production-ready components. MUI is a user interface library that provides predefined and customizable React components for faster and easy web development, these Material-UI components are based on top of Material Design by Google.

In this article, we’ll be discussing React MUI Rating input. A rating input provides insight into others’ opinions and may also allow the user to submit a rating of their own choice.

Rating input Variants:

• Basic rating: A basic rating input variant provides four types: controlled, read-only, disabled, and no-value.
• Rating precision: By using the precision prop we can define the minimum increment value change allowed in a rating input.
• Hover feedback: We can display a label on hover which helps the user pick the correct rating value.
• Sizes: Sizes can be changed by a small or large rating input using the size prop.
• Customization: A rating input can get customized by changing the rating icons, colors, etc.
• Radio group: The rating is implemented with a radio group, set highlightSelectedOnly to restore the natural behavior.
• Accessibility: To be more accessible provide a name prop while using a radio group, use labels, and use different colors and icon shapes to distinguish multiple ratings. 
• API: The APIs are:
  • <Rating />

Syntax:

<Rating />
