<div class="flex flex-col items-center gap-2">
<p-rating #ratingValue="ngModel" [(ngModel)]="value" required name="ratingValue" [invalid]="ratingValue.invalid && (ratingValue.touched || exampleForm.submitted)"/>
@if (ratingValue.invalid && (ratingValue.touched || exampleForm.submitted)) {

Rating can also be used with reactive forms. In this case, the formControlName property is used to bind the component to a form control.
<form [formGroup]="exampleForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" class="flex flex-col gap-4 w-40">
<div class="flex flex-col items-center gap-2">
<p-rating formControlName="ratingValue" [invalid]="isInvalid('ratingValue')"/>
@if (isInvalid('ratingValue')) {
<p-message severity="error" size="small" variant="simple">Value is required.</p-message>
}
</div>
<button pButton severity="secondary" type="submit"><span pButtonLabel>Submit</span></button>
</form>
Accessibility #
Screen Reader
Rating component internally uses radio buttons that are only visible to screen readers. The value to read for item is retrieved from the locale API via star and stars of the aria property.
Keyboard Support
Keyboard interaction is derived from the native browser handling of radio buttons in a group.
| Key | Function |
|---|---|
| tab | Moves focus to the star representing the value, if there is none then first star receives the focus. |
| left arrowup arrow | Moves focus to the previous star, if there is none then last radio button receives the focus. |
| right arrowdown arrow | Moves focus to the next star, if there is none then first star receives the focus. |
| space | If the focused star does not represent the value, changes the value to the star value. |
