In case you want to store the review value on the local storage you can do so by adding ls="true".

This will save the value of the rating on the localStorage with the name of your id.

The value of the review will be there next time you visit the page or refresh it.

You can also get the value from the local storage by querying the id.:

const ratingLS = localStorage.getItem("rating1");

If you want to show the result or specific value in the review you can add resultValue with a number from 1 to 5.

It will show 3 stars selected out of 5.

resultValue will make the review static, the value can not be updated if you click on it.
