## What it is
Raty is a vanilla JavaScript star rating plugin that renders interactive rating widgets using images or icon fonts. It supports half stars, hints, cancel buttons, and customizable icon ranges.

## Use cases
- add a star rating widget to a web page
- let users rate products with stars
- implement half-star rating input
- create a rating form with cancel option
- customize rating icons with fonts instead of images

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free star rating widget in vanilla JS
- you want half-star support and customizable hints
- you're migrating from the old jQuery Raty plugin

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured React/Vue rating component with framework bindings
- you need backend rating persistence (see the author's Rating gem for Rails)
- your project requires a maintained library with frequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: star-rating, rating-widget, vanilla-js, jquery-successor, javascript
