This Vanilla JS code snippet helps you to create SVG star rating animation with radio inputs. The five star rating comes with 5 different levels of feedbacks with stars and text bottom of them.
One star rating indicates terrible experience while five star rating indicates excellent experience. User can select the star and this code snippet animates the star ✨ and display rating feedback accordingly.
How to Create Star Rating Animation using SVG and Vanilla JS
1. First of all, load the Google Fonts CSS into the head tag of your HTML document.
<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=DM+Sans:wght@400;500&display=swap'>
2. After that, create the HTML form element with a class name “rating”, place radio inputs with unique ID attributes, and define SVG elements as define in the below HTML code:
<form class="rating"> <div class="rating__stars"> <input id="rating-1" class="rating__input rating__input-1" type="radio" name="rating" value="1"> <input id="rating-2" class="rating__input rating__input-2" type="radio" name="rating" value="2"> <input id="rating-3" class="rating__input rating__input-3" type="radio" name="rating" value="3"> <input id="rating-4" class="rating__input rating__input-4" type="radio" name="rating" value="4"> <input id="rating-5" class="rating__input rating__input-5" type="radio" name="rating" value="5"> <label class="rating__label" for="rating-1">

3. Style the star rating using the following CSS. You can set the custom values for star fill color and transition values according to your needs.

4. Finally, add the following JavaScript function before closing of the body tag to activate the star rating animation.
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",() => {
const starRating = new StarRating("form");
});
class StarRating {
constructor(qs) {
this.ratings = [
{id: 1, name: "Terrible"},
{id: 2, name: "Bad"},
{id: 3, name: "OK"},
{id: 4, name: "Good"},
{id: 5, name: "Excellent"}
];
this.rating = null;
this.el = document.querySelector(qs);
this.init();
}
init() {
this.el?.addEventListener("change",this.updateRating.bind(this));
// stop Firefox from preserving form data between refreshes
try {
this.el?.reset();
} catch (err) {
console.error("Element isn’t a form.");
}
}
updateRating(e) {
// clear animation delays
Array.from(this.el.querySelectorAll(`[for*="rating"]`)).forEach(el => {
el.className = "rating__label";
});
const ratingObject = this.ratings.find(r => r.id === +e.target.value);
const prevRatingID = this.rating?.id || 0;
let delay = 0;
this.rating = ratingObject;
this.ratings.forEach(rating => {
const { id } = rating;
// add the delays
const ratingLabel = this.el.querySelector(`[for="rating-${id}"]`);
if (id > prevRatingID + 1 && id <= this.rating.id) {
++delay;
ratingLabel.classList.add(`rating__label--delay${delay}`);
}
// hide ratings to not read, show the one to read
const ratingTextEl = this.el.querySelector(`[data-rating="${id}"]`);
if (this.rating.id !== id)
ratingTextEl.setAttribute("hidden",true);
else
ratingTextEl.removeAttribute("hidden");
});
}
}
