Creating Interfaces with Bulma

By: Jeremy Thomas, Oleksii Potiekhin, Mikko Lauhakari, Aslam Shah, Dave Berning

Overview of this book

Bulma is a lightweight configurable CSS framework that handles all the hard work of Flexbox for you. Bulma makes creating web interfaces an easy and interesting job. This book begins with an overview of the basics of Bulma ? its terms and its concepts. Then, while designing a login page for your application, you’ll learn how to use the various tools provided by Bulma to create HTML forms and control their layout and flow. In the later chapters, you’ll design an admin area for your application, thus learning to use Bulma’s navigation and menu components. You will also add the components to your user interface for common things such as boxes, lists, and media groups, and then create pagination. As you progress through the book, you’ll create and layout some other components for your interface, including tables, design dropdown lists, and finally to integrate your web application with JavaScript. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to use the features of Bulma to your advantage and build web interfaces quickly and easily.

Running the application

If you haven’t been building the example throughout this chapter, you should run the following command to build your project locally:

npm start

Assuming that it builds correctly, you should see the login screen! This form doesn’t have any functionality, but to see the Collections component, you’ll need to navigate to it via the URL bar with /collection.

You should see a grid of Bleeding Edge Book covers! From here, you can click on each book cover and it’ll take you to /collection/<id>. Each one of these detail screens is a single component that gets data passed into it.
