By styling both the main range input and its slider thumb via CSS, users can interact with the rating system seamlessly, without any JavaScript. Although the component is designed with UI, UX, and accessibility in mind, it does point out its limitations and encourages caution regarding potential bugs and accessibility concerns. The focus remains on achieving this functionality solely through CSS, showcasing the possibility of minimalist web development.
This article explores a CSS-only implementation of a star rating component, transforming an input range element into a fully functional star rating system without JavaScript.
