React Star Rating Widget

By FrontendAtlas Editorial · Updated Jan 30, 2026

Challenge summary

It should render a row of clickable stars, allow the user to select a rating, and notify a parent component when the rating changes. React focus: build a controlled component and notify parent on change.

What you'll practice

  • Display a row of stars (e.g. 5 by default).
  • Allow the parent to control the current rating via props.
  • Display the current rating value below the stars.
  • Stars render from 1 up to the configured max (default 5).
  • Framework focus: React hooks (useState/useEffect), JSX event handling, and one-way props/state flow.
