Rating

<loomi-rating> — a 0–5 rating control as stars, hearts or thumbs-up. Form-associated: submits the rating under name.

Terminal window
npm install @loomidev/rating lit
import "@loomidev/rating";
<loomi-rating name="star-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating type="heart" name="heart-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating type="thumbsup" name="thumb-rating"></loomi-rating>

Where there are multiple ratings on the same page, give each a unique name.

Any loomi color works — the default is orange.

<loomi-rating rating="1" color="error" name="error-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="2" color="yellow" name="yellow-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="3" color="success" name="success-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="4" color="primary" name="primary-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="5" color="error" name="error-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="3" color="success" name="success-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="4" color="success" name="violet-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="4" color="primary" name="indigo-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="2" size="small" name="small-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="3" size="medium" type="thumbsup" name="medium-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="2" size="big" type="heart" name="big-rating"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating rating="2" name="album-rating"></loomi-rating>
<script type="module">
document.querySelector('loomi-rating[name="album-rating"]').addEventListener("change", (e) => {
console.log(e.detail.rating); // 1–5
saveRating(e.detail.rating);
});
</script>

Not every rating needs to be interactive — display a rating the user already gave as read-only by setting clickable="false".

<loomi-rating rating="4" clickable="false"></loomi-rating>
<loomi-rating name="album_rating" rating="3"></loomi-rating>
new FormData(form).get("album_rating"); // "3"

<loomi-rating> is a standard custom element, so the browser can use it in plain HTML, Blade, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Astro, and most other frameworks. The important beginner rule is: install the package, import it once before the tag is rendered, then write the Loomi tag in your template.

Run install commands from the app where you want to use this component. That means the folder that contains that app’s package.json. Do not run these install commands from packages/rating unless you are editing LoomiUI itself.

Terminal window
cd /path/to/your-app
npm install @loomidev/rating lit

If you are contributing to LoomiUI itself, first move to the top-level components folder. That is where the main package.json for all packages lives, and pnpm --filter ... commands should be run from there:

Terminal window
cd /path/to/your-copy-of-loomiui/components
pnpm --filter @loomidev/rating build
pnpm --filter @loomidev/rating typecheck

Use the CDN version for prototypes, documentation pages, or a quick reproduction. The import map tells the browser where to find Lit, which Loomi components use internally.

<script type="importmap">
{ "imports": { "lit": "https://esm.sh/lit@3.3.3", "lit/": "https://esm.sh/lit@3.3.3/" } }
</script>
<script type="module" src="https://esm.sh/@loomidev/rating"></script>
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>

In Vite, Webpack, Parcel, Rollup, or a framework build pipeline, install the package and import it once in your main app JavaScript file. After that, you can use the Loomi tag anywhere in your app.

import "@loomidev/rating";

Because this is a form-capable component, give it a name when it should submit with a native <form>. Read its value with new FormData(form).get("the-name") just like you would for a built-in input.

Run the install command from your Laravel project root, then import the component in resources/js/app.js. If your project uses Laravel Vite, npm run dev and npm run build should also be run from the Laravel project root.

Terminal window
cd /path/to/your-laravel-app
npm install @loomidev/rating lit
npm run dev
resources/js/app.js
import "@loomidev/rating";
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>

React can render Loomi tags directly. If you are on React 18, or if you need to pass arrays, objects, or functions, use a ref and assign those values after the component mounts.

import "@loomidev/rating";
export function LoomiExample() {
return (
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>
);
}

If TypeScript does not recognize the Loomi tag in JSX, add it to your app’s JSX type declarations.

Import the package in the component that uses it, or once in your main Vue file. Vue templates can use Loomi tags directly. For arrays, objects, or functions, pass the value as a JavaScript property instead of as plain text.

<script setup>
import "@loomidev/rating";
</script>
<template>
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>
</template>

If Vue warns that the tag is an unknown component, configure compilerOptions.isCustomElement for tags that start with loomi- in your Vite or Vue config.

Import the package once and tell Angular to allow custom HTML tags with CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA. For NgModule apps, add the schema to the module instead of the standalone component.

app.component.ts
import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, Component } from "@angular/core";
import "@loomidev/rating";
@Component({
selector: "app-root",
standalone: true,
schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
template: `
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>
`,
})
export class AppComponent {}

Svelte can import the package inside a component script. Astro can import it in the frontmatter of the page or layout where the tag appears.

<script>
import "@loomidev/rating";
</script>
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>
---
import "@loomidev/rating";
---
<loomi-rating name="satisfaction" rating="4" clickable></loomi-rating>

Frameworks such as Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, and Astro sometimes render HTML on the server before browser-only code runs. If your framework complains, move the Loomi import to client-side code. In Next.js, that usually means a component with "use client"; in Nuxt, it often means a .client.ts plugin.
