CSS-only star rating component created with an input range element, styled with CSS to represent stars. The design uses masking techniques to display the star shape based on the input value. The component can be adjusted for star quantity via the max attribute and supports half-star ratings by modifying step values. Accessibility features include outlines for keyboard focus. Code examples show how to implement variations using gradients or SVGs for different shapes, maintaining a clean, single-element structure.
