In this tutorial, we'll go through the different steps of creating a rating plugin in CSS and JavaScript, with a particular focus on:

• keyboard accessibility (use Tab key, Space bar and arrow keys to navigate and interact with the component);
• aria attributes and roles to improve Screen Reader accessibility;
• no JavaScript support.

Final result:

The Rating plugin is also available as a component in the CodyHouse UI Framework.
