How to display review stars in angular5 view using font-awesome

I have the review stars value in the database. Example 2.5 for an item. I want to display this in the template using font-awesome.

<ul class="rating inline-ul">
    <li><i class="fa fa-star amber-text"></i></li>
    <li><i class="fa fa-star amber-text"></i></li>
    <li><i class="fa fa-star amber-text"></i></li>
   <li><i class="fa fa-star"></i></li>
   <li><i class="fa fa-star"></i></li>
</ul>

What will be the way to display the stars in accordance with the review value?

I used *ngIf, but that seems like overkill with a lot code and possibly how to represent the half stars.

 <ul class="rating inline-ul" *ngIf="2.5">
        <li><i class="fa fa-star amber-text"></i></li>
        <li><i class="fa fa-star amber-text"></i></li>
        <li><i class="fa fa-star amber-half"></i></li>
        <li><i class="fa fa-star"></i></li>
        <li><i class="fa fa-star"></i></li>
  </ul>

Thanks to Commercial Suicide, it was the solution I was looking for.

To completely satisfy my need, I did an improvement, to also show the "empty" stars. I added else inside *ngIF

*ngIf="starValue >= i + 0.5; else emptyStar"

and added this block that will show the "empty" stars

<ng-template #emptyStar>
  <i class="far fa-star"></i>
</ng-template>

In index.html, i changed the font awesome version to v5.1.0 to support classes fas (solid) and far (regular)

You can do the following. Add a new Arr property to your class

export class YourComponent {
  Arr = Array;
}

Then, in your html:

<ul class="rating inline-ul">
        <li  *ngFor="let i of Arr(Math.floor(starValue)).fill(1)"><i class="fa fa-star amber-text"></i></li>
        <li *ngIf="starValue % 1 === 0"><i class="fa fa-star amber-half"></i></li>
 </ul>

You can create items dynamically via *ngFor and give them class (dynamically too) via ngClass, based on starValue value:

<ul class="rating inline-ul">
  <li *ngFor="let star of stars; let i = index">
    <i class="fa" *ngIf="starValue >= i + 0.5" [ngClass]="{'fa-star-half': starValue >= i + 0.5 && starValue < i + 1, 'fa-star': starValue >= i + 1}"></i>
  </li>
</ul>

And don't forget to initialize the array in the component, which length will be equal to the number of stars (doesn't matter, half-filled, filled or empty):

public stars: any[] = new Array(5);

And here is the STACKBLITZ (I have changed some classes to render the output properly). Here you can play around and configure the behavior as you want.

Following are the code snippets:

StackBlitz url: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-kbmtmv

app.component.ts

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  value = 2.5; //addition of .5
  starList: string[] = [];
  ngOnInit() {
    let i=1;
    for(i=1; i<=5; i++) {
      if(i<= this.value) {
        this.starList.push("fas fa-star");
      } else if(i <= this.value+0.5) {
        this.starList.push("fas fa-star-half");
      } else {
        this.starList.push("far fa-star");
      }
    }
  }
}

app.component.html

<span *ngFor="let star of starList">
  <i class="{{star}}"></i>
</span>
