Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description

emptyIcon	node	<StarBorder fontSize="inherit" />	The icon to display when empty.
emptyLabelText	node	'Empty'	The label read when the rating input is empty.
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.
