When to use it

Review forms, product cards, feedback widgets — anywhere a star rating input needs a lively, self-demonstrating idle state.

When not to

Production forms requiring a fixed, committed rating — the auto-cycle must be removed and a click-to-set handler added before shipping.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change star count to 10 by setting N=10 and adjusting the viewBox to "0 0 640 80", update spacing from 62 to 62, and change gold color from #ffd23f to #f59e0b. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • star count (N=5)
  • star color (#ffd23f)
  • auto-sweep speed (clock%18)
  • pop scale amount (1.25)
  • star spacing (i*62)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
  • visibilitychange pause
  • SVG role/aria-label
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Auto-cycles by default — remove dir sweep and add click handler for real input use
  • No keyboard navigation — not accessible as a form control without added tabindex/keydown handlers
