Rating examples

Real renders of the emoji rating — each one is the same component with different property values, and the API payload below each preview reproduces it exactly.

Spice level on a menu card

Three of five chili peppers marking a dish as medium-hot.

API overrides for this example

{
  "score.iconShape": "custom",
  "score.customEmoji": "🌶️",
  "score.value": 3
}

Pizza place review

A 4.5-pizza score for a playful restaurant review graphic.

API overrides for this example

{
  "score.iconShape": "custom",
  "score.customEmoji": "🍕",
  "score.value": 4.5
}

When to use the emoji style

Playful product scores (fire out of 5)
Food and restaurant review graphics
Community poll result images

Use it dynamically via the API

Set '<key>.value' (or just '<key>') to the score for each render; max, colors and border props are overridable too.

--data '{
    "score.value": 4,
    "score.max": 5,
    "score.iconShape": "custom",
    "score.activeColor": "#FBBF24",
    "score.inactiveColor": "#E5E7EB",
    "score.emptyStyle": "filled",

    "score.showValue": false,
    "score.valueFormat": "decimal",
