Tailwind Star Rating Radio Buttons

A five-star rating built the right way: five radios in logical 1→5 order, cumulative fill, a hover preview and a staggered pop when the rating lands — plus a live caption ("Great") for the score. The cumulative logic is one arbitrary variant, group-has-[~label_input:checked]/star:: every star before the checked one lights up.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Five nth-child animation-delay rules became one @theme inline token reading var(--d) and a [--d:…] class per star.
  • The original's hover reset needed !important in CSS too; in Tailwind the three tiers are explicit — normal, group-hover/stars:…!, and a more specific arbitrary [label:hover_&]:…!.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a verbal caption (Poor → Loved it) now names the score, switched by group-has-[[value='N']:checked]/rate:, and the control sits on a card.
  • UI upgrade: empty-star strokes rose from #d3c9ae (1.6:1) to 3:1, and the hint from #a49879 (2.8:1) to 5.4:1.

How this works

Three tiers of state. Checked fill is a normal variant; the "clear everything while hovering" reset is group-hover/stars:…!; the preview trail is an arbitrary variant — label:hover .star — which is both important and more specific, so it beats the reset.

Stagger without four keyframes. The pop token is declared in @theme inline with var(--d,0ms) as its delay, so each star sets [--d:60ms], [--d:120ms]… and the one animation sweeps left to right.

Make it yours

  • Gold: --color-trb11-star.
  • Sweep speed: the 60ms step in each star's [--d:…].
  • Swap the star path for hearts — the logic doesn't change.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Keep DOM order 1→5 — screen readers and arrow keys follow it; the :has(~) trick exists so you don't reverse it.
  • Every star needs sr-only text; a glyph alone is not a label.
  • v4's important modifier is a suffix: fill-x!.

Cumulative fill depends on :has(); below it only the picked star fills, and the rating still submits.
