27 Apr 202417 minutes to read

You can also customize the appearance of rating component.

Items count

You can specify the number of rating items using the itemsCount property.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <input ejs-rating id="rating" itemsCount="8" value="3"/>
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Disabled

You can disable the rating component by using the disabled property. When the disabled property is set to true, the rating component will be disabled and the user will not be able to interact with it and a disabled rating component may have a different visual appearance than an enabled one.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <input ejs-rating id="rating" value="3" disabled="true" />
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Visible

You can use the visible property of the rating component to component the visibility of the component. When the visible property is set to true, the rating component will be visible on the page. When it is set to false, the component will be hidden.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { RatingComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <button id="btn" (click)="visible()">Visible</button>
                    <input ejs-rating #rating id="rating" value="3" visible="true" />
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {

  @ViewChild('rating')
  public rating?: RatingComponent;

  public visible() {
    this.rating!.visible = !this.rating?.visible;
  }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Read only

You can use the readOnly property of the rating component to make the component non-interactive and prevent the user from changing the rating value.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <input ejs-rating id="rating" value="3" readOnly="true" />
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

CssClass

You can customize the appearance of the rating component, such as by changing its colors, fonts, sizes, or other visual aspects by using the cssClass property.

Changing rating symbol border color

You can change the rating icon border color in rating component, you can use the cssClass property and set the text-stroke CSS property of .e-rating-icon to your desired border color.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <input ejs-rating id="rating" value="3" cssClass="custom-border" />
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
/* Represents the styles for loader */
#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}

.wrap {
  margin: 50px auto;
  text-align: center;
}

.e-rating-container.custom-border .e-rating-item-list:hover .e-rating-item-container .e-rating-icon,
.e-rating-container.custom-border .e-rating-item-container .e-rating-icon {
    /* To change rating symbol border color */
    -webkit-text-stroke: 2px #ae9e9d;
}

Changing rated/un-rated symbol fill color

You can customize the fill colors of rated and un-rated icons in the rating component using the cssClass property and the linear-gradient color-stops in the background CSS property of .e-rating-icon. The first color-stop defines the rated fill color and the second defines the un-rated fill color.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <input ejs-rating id="rating" value="3" cssClass="custom-fill" />
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
/* Represents the styles for loader */
#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}

.wrap {
  margin: 50px auto;
  text-align: center;
}

.e-rating-container.custom-fill .e-rating-item-list:hover .e-rating-item-container .e-rating-icon,
.e-rating-container.custom-fill .e-rating-item-container .e-rating-icon {
    /* To change rated symbol fill color and un-rated symbol fill color */
    background: linear-gradient(to right, #ffe814 var(--rating-value), #d8d7d4 var(--rating-value));
    background-clip: text;
    -webkit-background-clip: text;
}

This will customize the rated fill color to #ffe814 and un-rated fill color to #d8d7d4. --rating-value in the linear-gradient provides the current value of the rating item.

Changing the item spacing

You can change the space between the rating items in rating component, by using the cssClass property and setting the margin / padding CSS property of .e-rating-item-container to your desired size.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { RatingModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         FormsModule, RatingModule
    ],


standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To Render Rating component. -->
                <div class="wrap">
                    <input ejs-rating id="rating" value="3" cssClass="custom-font" />
                </div>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
/* Represents the styles for loader */
#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}

.wrap {
  margin: 50px auto;
  text-align: center;
}

.e-rating-container.custom-font .e-rating-item-container {
  /* To change the size between items */
  margin: 0px 7px;
}
