Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
classes	object	-	Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS classes API below for more details.
component	elementType	-	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.

getLabelText	func	function defaultLabelText(value) { return `${value \|\| '0'} Star${value !== 1 ? 's' : ''}`; }	Accepts a function which returns a string value that provides a user-friendly name for the current value of the rating. This is important for screen reader users. For localization purposes, you can use the provided translations. Signature:`function(value: number) => string` `value` The rating label's value to format.
highlightSelectedOnly	bool	false	If `true`, only the selected icon will be highlighted.
icon	node	<Star fontSize="inherit" />	The icon to display.
IconContainerComponent	elementType	function IconContainer(props) { const { value, ...other } = props; return <span {...other} />; }	The component containing the icon.

max	number	5	Maximum rating.
