**rater-js** is a star rating widget for the browser.

*The author is looking for consulting work implementing anything with his open source libraries or other stuff. I do javascript/php/wordpress/c#/asp.net. I have over 10 years experience with software development. Keep in mind that I only work remotely.*

### Main features:

* Unlimited number of stars.
* Svg as background image makes it look good in any size.
* Custom css. Use your own image as star.
* RTL support.
* Touch support.

## Installation

```
npm install rater-js --save
```

## Usage

**rater-js** can be used with amd, commonjs or without any module loader using global scope.

In your html create an element that acts as the placeholder for the widget.

```html
<div id="rater"></div>
```

### Global scope
Directly reference the js from the module

```html
<!--Add js before end body tag-->
<script src="node-modules/rater-js/index.js"></script>
```

The widget will be available globally as "raterJs" on the window object.

### Node/Browserify
Just require the module.
```js
var rater = require("rater-js");
```

Lastly we can use the widget like this:
```js
 var myRater = rater({element: document.querySelector("#rater"), rateCallback: function rateCallback(rating, done) {
                //make async call to server however you want
                //in this example we have a 'service' that rate and returns the average rating
                myDataService.rate(rate).then(function(avgRating) {
                    //update the avarage rating with the one we get from the server
                    myRater.setRating(avgRating);
                     //we could disable the rater to prevent another rating
                     //if we dont want the user to be able to change their mind
                    myRater.disable();
                    //dont forget to call done
                    done();
                }, function(error) {
                        //handle the error
                        //dont forget to call done
                        done();
                });
	}});
```

Css will be injected at runtime, but you can override the css to get the look you want.

```css
//change the whole image used as the star. Make sure to set starSize in options if not 16px.
//first image is for the 'off' mode
.star-rating {
        background: url("myStar_off.svg") !important;
}

//add style for 'on' mode
.star-rating .star-value{
        background: url("myStar_on.svg") !important;
}
```
