Below is my code, the React app is connected to Node js and the data of comment are saved when submit but it’s not working for StarRating component.
The comment data is saved in the db table but not the rating
>Solution :
Please pass setRating in starComponent as props
Like below:
<StarRating value={rating1} updateRating={(e) => setRating1(e)}
onChange={e => setRating1(e.target.value)}></StarRating>
Now you will get updateRating as props in starComponent. So update rating form star component like below:
import React, { useState} from "react";
import { FaStar } from 'react-icons/fa';
const StarRating = ({updateRating}) =>{ // Here you will get setRating state(State of app component) in props
const [rating, setRating] = useState(null); // not needed this state here. Update rating value in state which comes form props
const [hover, setHover] = useState(null);
return <div>
<p>Rate your experience from 0 to 5 stars</p>
{[... Array(5)].map((star, i)=>{
const ratingValue= i + 1;
return (
<label>
<input
type="radio"
name="rating"
value={ratingValue}
onClick={() =>updateRating(ratingValue)} /> // Update `updateRating` state which comes from app component.
<FaStar
className="star"
color={ratingValue <= (hover || rating) ? "#11C4B0" : "#D3D3D3"}
size={40}
onMouseEnter={() =>setHover(ratingValue)}
onMouseLeave={() =>setHover(null)}
/>
</label>
);
})}
</div>
}
export default StarRating;
You will get updated state in rating1 in app component if any changes occurred from starComponent.
