Rating

Rating component is a star based selection input.


import { RatingModule } from 'primeng/rating';

Two-way value binding is defined using ngModel.


<p-rating [(ngModel)]="value"></p-rating>

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]="formGroup">
    <p-rating formControlName="value"></p-rating>
</form>

A cancel icon is displayed to reset the value by default, set cancel as false to remove this option.


<p-rating [(ngModel)]="value" [cancel]="false"></p-rating>

Number of stars to display is defined with stars property.


<p-rating [(ngModel)]="value" [stars]="10"></p-rating>

Templating allows customizing the content where the icon instance is available as the implicit variable.


<p-rating [(ngModel)]="value" stars="5">
        <ng-template pTemplate="cancelicon">
            <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/rating/cancel.png" width="25px" height="25px" />
        </ng-template>
        <ng-template pTemplate="onicon">
            <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/rating/custom-icon-active.png" width="25px" height="25px" />
        </ng-template>
        <ng-template pTemplate="officon">
            <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/rating/custom-icon.png" width="25px" height="25px" />
        </ng-template>
</p-rating>
