styles.css
import { Rating } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

Label position

The rating control allows you to place the label on the top, bottom, left, or right side of the rating using the labelPosition property.

The following label positions are supported:

Top: The label is placed on the top of the rating.
Bottom: The label is placed on the bottom of the rating.
Left: The label is placed on the left side of the rating.
Right: The label is placed on the right side of the rating.

index.ts
index.html
styles.css
import { Rating, LabelPosition } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

// Initialize the Label Position Left Rating control.
var rating1: Rating = new Rating({ value:3, showLabel:true, labelPosition:LabelPosition.Left });
// Initialize the Label Position Right Rating control.
var rating2: Rating = new Rating({ value:3, showLabel:true });
// Initialize the Label Position Top Rating control.
var rating3: Rating = new Rating({ value:3, showLabel:true, labelPosition:LabelPosition.Top });
// Initialize the Label Position Bottom Rating control.
var rating4: Rating = new Rating({ value:3, showLabel:true, labelPosition:LabelPosition.Bottom });

// Render initialized Rating.
rating1.appendTo('#rating1');
rating2.appendTo('#rating2');
rating3.appendTo('#rating3');
rating4.appendTo('#rating4');

Label template

You can use the labelTemplate tag directive to specify a custom template for the Label of the rating. The current value of the rating will be passed as the value property in the template context when building the content of the label. This allows you to include dynamic information about the rating in the template.

index.ts
index.html
styles.css
import { Rating } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

// Initialize the Rating control.
let rating: Rating = new Rating({ showLabel:true, labelTemplate:'#labelTemplate', value:3 });

// Render initialized Rating.
rating.appendTo('#rating');
