Screen Reader

Rating component internally uses radio buttons that are only visible to screen readers. The value to read for item is retrieved from the locale API via star and stars of the aria property.

Keyboard Support

Keyboard interaction is derived from the native browser handling of radio buttons in a group.

| Key | Function | | --- | --- | | tab | Moves focus to the star representing the value, if there is none then first star receives the focus. | | left arrow__up arrow | Moves focus to the previous star, if there is none then last radio button receives the focus. | | right arrow__down arrow | Moves focus to the next star, if there is none then first star receives the focus. | | space | If the focused star does not represent the value, changes the value to the star value. |
