How to Fill Review Icons Depending on the Rating in React

1 year ago admin Reactjs

In today's lesson, we will see how to fill review icons depending on the rating in React, let's assume that we have an e-commerce website and we want to show the rating of each product.


Create a helper function

First, let's create a helper function that takes the rating as param and returns the number of star icons depending on the rating.

Here I am using Bootstrap 5 Icons you can use font awesome instead if you want.

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
export const showRating = (rating) => {
    switch(rating){
      case 1 :
        return <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>;
      case 2 :
        return (
            <>
              <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
              <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            </>
          );
      case 3 :
        return (
          <>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
          </>
        );
      case 4 :
        return (
          <>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
          </>
        );
      case 5 :
        return (
          <>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
            <i className="bi bi-star-fill text-warning"></i>
          </>
        );
      default:
          return 'something went wrong!'
    }
  }

Use the helper function

Next, we use the helper function to show star icons depending on the rating.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
import React from 'react';
import { showRating } from './Helpers';

export default function ProductItem() {
  const product = {
    id: 1,
    rating: 4
  };

  return (
    <p>
      { showRating(product.rating) }
    </p>    
  )
}
