Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
defaultValue	number	null	The default value. Use when the component is not controlled.
disabled	bool	false	If `true`, the component is disabled.
emptyIcon	node	<StarBorder fontSize="inherit" />	The icon to display when empty.
emptyLabelText	node	'Empty'	The label read when the rating input is empty.
getLabelText	func	function defaultLabelText(value) { return `${value} Star${value !== 1 ? 's' : ''}`; }	Accepts a function which returns a string value that provides a user-friendly name for the current value of the rating. This is important for screen reader users. For localization purposes, you can use the provided translations. Signature: `function(value: number) => string` value: The rating label's value to format.
highlightSelectedOnly	bool	false	If `true`, only the selected icon will be highlighted.
icon	node	<Star fontSize="inherit" />	The icon to display.
IconContainerComponent	elementType	function IconContainer(props) { const { value, ...other } = props; return <span {...other} />; }	The component containing the icon.
max	number	5	Maximum rating.
name	string		The name attribute of the radio `input` elements. This input `name` should be unique within the page. Being unique within a form is insufficient since the `name` is used to generated IDs.
onChange	func		Callback fired when the value changes. Signature: `function(event: React.SyntheticEvent, value: number \| null) => void` event: The event source of the callback. value: The new value.
onChangeActive	func		Callback function that is fired when the hover state changes. Signature: `function(event: React.SyntheticEvent, value: number) => void` event: The event source of the callback. value: The new value.
precision	number	1	The minimum increment value change allowed.
readOnly	bool	false	Removes all hover effects and pointer events.
size	'small' \| 'medium' \| 'large' \| string	'medium'	The size of the component.
