Request (possibly just for advice): A star slider with half-star values

[NCrusher74]

There are tutorials available for how to make a star rating UI component, but I'm really hoping to do something a little more complicated, and I think it's going to require handling the rating as a slider (with an invisible knob).

My idea is that the "bar" will be a row of five stars and then sliding along it results in this:

0.0 = "star" x 5 0.5 = ("star.leadinghalf.fill" x 1) + ("star" x 4) 1.0 = ("star.fill" x 1) + ("star" x 4) 1.5 = ("star.fill" x 1) + ("star.leadinghalf.fill" x 1) + ("star" x 3) .. and so forth up to ("star.fill" x 5)

I've tried altering your sliders to do something like this, and clearly I did it wrong because any attempt to "slide" along the row resulted in the row of stars changing position on the screen.

Is this something that should be handled as a slider, or should I instead perhaps handle it so that each star is a button that starts at "star (empty)" and changes to "star.leadinghalf.fill" the first time it's tapped, and then to "star.fill" if it's tapped again, before cycling back to being empty?

@NCrusher74 probably too late for an answer but you can do this with masking views

Thumb = EmptyView() Slider background = Row of grey stars Slider track = Row of yellow stars Slider track mask = Rectangle

I would go for a custom RatingView instead.
