Why is the metafield rating type not returning a number?

Hi,

I’m trying to use the new metafields system to output a rank for a product. After seeing the documentation O noticed that I not able to return a number using the Rating Object, for example:

I have a Rating metafield from 1 to 4 with a value of 2 but I wasn’t able to get the returned value.

{{ product.metafields.cafe.rost_level.rating }}

{{ product.metafields.cafe.rost_level.scale_max }}

{{ product.metafields.cafe.rost_level.scale_min }}

Thanks

You need to add the value keyword:

{{ product.metafields.cafe.rost_level.value.rating }}
{{ product.metafields.cafe.rost_level.value.scale_max }}
{{ product.metafields.cafe.rost_level.value.scale_min }}

Not sure why that’s not in the docs. I found it in some sample code.

@suburbiaboy - @MPMachado - Thanks for the info (I could not find that documentation anywhere). I now can show the rating in text form. Do you know how to actually show star svg’s or icons to represent this? I know this is probably a loaded question but maybe you have come across an example or 2.

@graphiclux check out the implementation in the Dawn theme, I think that will probably answer your question:
