RateView - iOS (Objective-C)

RateView is a UIView subclass that creates a customizable rating view containing rating stars in it. It fills out the stars in percentage fill manner. It can be used for -

  • displaying a rating for an item canRate = NO OR
  • actually provide user a chance to rate any product or item canRate = YES.

Requirements

  • iOS 6.0 or later.
  • ARC enabled.

Installation

  • Want a Pod for this, just add following line to your podfile-
pod 'RateView'
  • You can directly copy the source files from RateView folder.

How To Use

Configuring RateView is as simple as :

RateView* rv = [RateView rateViewWithRating:3.7f];
[self.view addSubview:rv];

RateView takes it over from here.

  • It uses CoreGraphics Context to draw the Star shapes with transparent background and appropriately percent fills them by calculating the rating.
  • You should keep in mind to provide a rating between 0.0 to 5.0.

Properties

RateView comes with a property set for it's customization as needed :-

  • rating : Rating to be used with RateView (0.0f to 5.0f)

  • canRate : User can rate using rate view or not (Permission flag)

  • step : Rating step when user can rate (0.0f to 1.0f)

  • starNormalColor : Rating Star's backgroundColor

  • starFillColor : Rating Star's fillColor

  • starBorderColor : Rating Star's borderColor

  • starFillMode : Star Fill modes Horizontal, Vertical or Axial

  • starSize : starSize (width == height == size) in points

  • delegate : register in order to listen to rating changes

[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:] advantage

Given that UIColor is capable of color patterns handling made from images, 
RateView can be used to take advantage of this feature.
