Conversational Development With Claude Code — Part 12: Implementing Star Ratings in the Course List (Frontend)

Conversational Development With Claude Code — Part 12: Implementing Star Ratings in the Course List (Frontend) TL;DR In this chapter we move the Ratings feature into the frontend — deliberately, incrementally, and without premature backend coupling. Using Cloud Code, Yarn, Docker-backed APIs, and a disciplined scope, we implement a star‑rating UI inside the course list, validate it with mock data, refine it with visual feedback (screenshots), and prepare it for real API integration. This is not “just UI.” This is architectural alignment expressed visually. When interface becomes responsibility Backend ratings gave us persistence. But persistence without perception is invisible. The frontend is where trust is earned. A 3.5 average rating is not a number — it is a signal. A star is not an icon — it is a behavioral affordance. In Part 12, the mission is precise: Implement a 1–5 star rating display in the course list. Keep scope intentionally narrow. Use mock data first. Avoid premature ba
