Question 1

How to change star colors in react-native-star-rating?

Accepted Answer

Use the emptyStarColor, fullStarColor, and halfStarColor props to set custom colors. For example, set fullStarColor='red' to make filled stars red, as shown in the Custom Star Example.

Question 2

React Native star rating vs react-native-ratings: which is better?

Accepted Answer

React-native-star-rating focuses on highly customizable star icons with animation support, while react-native-ratations might offer more rating types but less icon flexibility. Choose based on your need for design control versus variety.

Question 3

Can I use my own images instead of icons for stars?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the library supports image objects via require() or URI for emptyStar, fullStar, and halfStar props. Refer to the props table where it mentions image objects as valid types.

Question 4

How do I enable half-star ratings?

Accepted Answer

Set the halfStarEnabled prop to true and provide halfStar icon or image. The rating prop can handle decimal values like 3.5, as demonstrated in the General Star Example.

Question 5

Does react-native-star-rating support accessibility features?

Accepted Answer

The README does not mention built-in accessibility props like aria labels. You may need to add accessibility traits manually via buttonStyle or containerStyle for screen reader compatibility.

Question 6

What animations can I use with this library?

Accepted Answer

It integrates with react-native-animatable, so you can use animation strings like 'bounce' or 'pulse'. Set the animation prop to a valid string from that library's documentation.
