"monochromatic" skin

The "monochromatic" skin turns the stars black -- or white when using dark mode. This is intended for use only when the stars are shown on top of a light-colored background such as a hero or banner.

Accessibility

  • The contents of the Ratings Stars component are not visible to assistive technologies, so the component needs an aria-label attribute that describes its contents, such as "Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars". (Compare this to alt text on an image).
  • When using the reviews prop, the accessibleTextForReviewCount prop is required to provide descriptive and screen-reader-friendly text for the review count link (e.g., "Read 125 reviews"), ensuring it is meaningful to users relying on assistive technologies.
