➧Create a simple and elegant 5-star rating system with HTML radio buttons and CSS • Softbranchdevelopers

Description

I was searching for the code, by using that I can create a simple 5-star rating system with HTML radio buttons and pure CSS. I came across this example which is created by Jordan-Simonds on codepen, which helped me a lot. So, I thought I should share this tool with someone who is interested in creating a 5-star rating system with HTML radio button and pure CSS style.

How can I use it?

The basic requirement for this is to add Font Awesome for star icons. Put following under <HEAD> tag.

And, then structure your radio elements like this:

<div class=”cont”>
<div class=”title”>
<h1>stars<span>.css</span></h1>
</div>
<div class=”stars”>
<form action=””>
<input class=”star star-5″ id=”star-5″ type=”radio” name=”star”/>
<label class=”star star-5″ for=”star-5″></label>
<input class=”star star-4″ id=”star-4″ type=”radio” name=”star”/>
<label class=”star star-4″ for=”star-4″></label>
<input class=”star star-3″ id=”star-3″ type=”radio” name=”star”/>
<label class=”star star-3″ for=”star-3″></label>
<input class=”star star-2″ id=”star-2″ type=”radio” name=”star”/>
<label class=”star star-2″ for=”star-2″></label>
<input class=”star star-1″ id=”star-1″ type=”radio” name=”star”/>
<label class=”star star-1″ for=”star-1″></label>
</form>
</div>
</div>

Now, add the CSS like this:

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:500,100,300,700,400);
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: roboto;
}
body{
background: #000;
}
.cont{
width: 93%;
max-width: 350px;
text-align: center;
margin: 4% auto;
padding: 30px 0;
background: #111;
color: #EEE;
border-radius: 5px;
border: thin solid #444;
overflow: hidden;
}
hr{
margin: 20px;
border: none;
border-bottom: thin solid rgba(255,255,255,.1);
}
div.title{
font-size: 2em;
}
h1 span{
font-weight: 300;
color: #Fd4;
}
div.stars{
width: 270px;
display: inline-block;
}
input.star{
display: none;
}
label.star {
float: right;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 36px;
color: #444;
transition: all .2s;
}
input.star:checked ~ label.star:before {
content:’f005′;
color: #FD4;
transition: all .25s;
}
input.star-5:checked ~ label.star:before {
color:#FE7;
text-shadow: 0 0 20px #952;
}
input.star-1:checked ~ label.star:before {
color: #F62;
}
label.star:hover{
transform: rotate(-15deg) scale(1.3);
}
label.star:before{
content:’f006′;
font-family: FontAwesome;
}
.rev-box{
overflow: hidden;
height: 0;
width: 100%;
transition: all .25s;
}
textarea.review{
background: #222;
border: none;
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
height: 100px;
padding: 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
color: #EEE;
}
label.review{
display: block;
transition:opacity .25s;
}
input.star:checked ~ .rev-box{
height: 125px;
