The provided code appears to be a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for creating an animated star rating system. Let’s break down the different components and functionalities of the code.

##HTML Structure

The HTML structure is relatively simple, consisting of a form with a class of “rating” that contains several input elements representing the star rating options. Each input element has an associated label containing SVG elements for the stars and corresponding textual descriptions. Additionally, there are hidden paragraph elements displaying the text descriptions based on the selected rating.

##CSS Styling

The CSS part begins with a global reset of CSS properties, setting various properties like border, box-sizing, margin, and padding to zero. It then sets several CSS custom properties (–bg, –fg, –primary, –yellow) for defining colors and transitions. The body has a background image, and the rating component is styled to position the stars and their related animations.

* {
  border: 0;  box-sizing: border-box;  margin: 0;  padding: 0;}

:root {
  --bg: #e3e4e8;  --fg: #17181c;  --primary: #255ff4;  --yellow: #f4a825;  --yellow-t: rgba(244, 168, 37, 0);  --bezier: cubic-bezier(0.42,0,0.58,1);  --trans-dur: 0.3s;  font-size: calc(24px + (30 - 24) * (100vw - 320px) / (1280 - 320));}

##JavaScript

The JavaScript section initializes the star rating system, defining the various rating levels from “Terrible” to “Excellent” and handling the logic for updating the rating display based on user input. It animates the stars based on the selected rating and manages the display of corresponding text descriptions.

window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",() => {
	const starRating = new StarRating("form");
});

class StarRating {
	constructor(qs) {
		this.ratings = [
			{id: 1, name: "Terrible"},
			{id: 2, name: "Bad"},
			{id: 3, name: "OK"},
			{id: 4, name: "Good"},
			{id: 5, name: "Excellent"}
		];
		this.rating = null;
		this.el = document.querySelector(qs);

		this.init();
	}
	init() {
		this.el?.addEventListener("change",this.updateRating.bind(this));

		// stop Firefox from preserving form data between refreshes
		try {
			this.el?.reset();
		} catch (err) {
			console.error("Element isn’t a form.");
		}
	}
	updateRating(e) {
		// clear animation delays
		Array.from(this.el.querySelectorAll(`[for*="rating"]`)).forEach(el => {
			el.className = "rating__label";
		});

		const ratingObject = this.ratings.find(r => r.id === +e.target.value);
		const prevRatingID = this.rating?.id || 0;

		let delay = 0;
		this.rating = ratingObject;
		this.ratings.forEach(rating => {
			const { id } = rating;

			// add the delays
			const ratingLabel = this.el.querySelector(`[for="rating-${id}"]`);

			if (id > prevRatingID + 1 && id <= this.rating.id) {
				++delay;
				ratingLabel.classList.add(`rating__label--delay${delay}`);
			}

			// hide ratings to not read, show the one to read
			const ratingTextEl = this.el.querySelector(`[data-rating="${id}"]`);

			if (this.rating.id !== id)
				ratingTextEl.setAttribute("hidden",true);
			else
				ratingTextEl.removeAttribute("hidden");
		});
	}
}

##Conclusion

Overall, the code integrates HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create an interactive and visually appealing star rating system with dynamic animations. It allows users to select their desired rating and provides real-time visual feedback for their selection.

The entire code aims to provide a user-friendly and engaging way for users to interact with and provide feedback, suitable for various applications where user reviews or ratings are important. The custom animations and visual feedback enhance the user experience, making the rating system more intuitive and enjoyable to use.
