The SUPERFLEXIBLE star rating system – the future of star rating in the Terminal

#javascript #tutorial

In the last few days, many people made star rating systems for the web. But nobody could build one in the terminal, so I am presenting the "star rating" that will change the ~~world~~ universe!

And I call it – SUPERFLEXIBLE

Now, why colour the whole star when you can fine-tune however the star is colored?

The implementation is pretty much the same as my previous star rating, except I have just changed the stars and hardcoded it in another file:

module.exports = {
  0: 
`    A
___/_\\___
 ',. ..'
 /.'^'.\\
/'     '\\`,
  1: 
`    \u001b[31mA
\u001b[0m___\u001b[31m/_\\\u001b[0m___
 ',. ..'
 /.'^'.\\
/'     '\\`,
  2: 
`    \u001b[31mA
\u001b[0m___\u001b[31m/_\\___
 \u001b[0m',. \u001b[31m..' \u001b[0m
 /.'^'.\\
/'     '\\`,
  3: 
`    \u001b[31mA
\u001b[0m___\u001b[31m/_\\___
 \u001b[0m',. \u001b[31m..' \u001b[0m
 /.'^\u001b[31m'.\\\u001b[0m
/'     \u001b[31m'\\\u001b[0m`,
  4: 
`    \u001b[31mA
\u001b[0m___\u001b[31m/_\\___
 \u001b[0m',. \u001b[31m..' \u001b[0m
 \u001b[31m/.'^'.\\
/'     '\\\u001b[0m`,u can 
  5: 
`    \u001b[31mA
___/_\\___
 ',. ..'
 /.'^'.\\
/'     '\\\u001b[0m`
}

The usage is also same: m to increase, l to decrease, and <number> to set the rating

The beauty of this method is that you can just change the stars and the rating still works. Try changing the exports in the stars.js file and see how much customizability you can have.

Plus big fixes Now you can't rate more than the max
Plus big fixes Now you can press 0 to set the rating ot 0
Plus Improvements Everything is automated and the only thing you have to change is in the stars.js file. Try editing it.

Here are some alternate ratings:
