Google Material Rating Plugin With jQuery - star.rating.js

Just another jQuery plugin used to generate a simple star rating control using Google's Material Icons. The plugin automatically converts any DIV element into a hidden input for the rating control.

How to use it:

1. Load the Google Material Icons from a CDN:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">

2. You can also import the Google Material Icons like this:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Material Icons';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: local('Material Icons'), local('MaterialIcons-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v7/2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5UEw0lE80llgEseQY3FEmqw.woff2) format('woff2'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/materialicons/v7/2fcrYFNaTjcS6g4U3t-Y5RV6cRhDpPC5P4GCEJpqGoc.woff) format('woff');
}

3. Create a DIV element for the star rating control.

<div class="rating"></div>

4. Load jQuery library and the jquery.star.rating.js in the webpage when needed.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.star.rating.js"></script>

5. Call the function on the DIV element to render a basic star rating control on the webpage.

$('.rating').addRating();

6. Set the maximum number of stars you want to use.

$('.rating').addRating({
  max: 5
});

7. Specify the attributes for the hidden input field.

$('.rating').addRating({
  fieldName : 'rating',
  fieldId : 'rating',
});

8. Use the other icons instead of the default star icon.

$('.rating').addRating({
  icon : 'star'
});
