Overview

Rating component is used to collect and display user feedback in the form of star ratings. This component allows users to rate items, such as products, services, or features, providing valuable insights and feedback.

Customers can rate their purchased items from 1 to 5 stars, and the average rating will be shown alongside the product details to help other users make informed decisions
