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.

New book detail template

The new book detail template is comprised of two components:

  • A breadcrumb, to both tell the user where they are, and allow them to navigate back
  • A form, to allow the user to input a book’s information

<nav class="breadcrumb">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a href="books.html">Books</a>
    </li>
    <li class="is-active">
      <a href="new-book.html">New book</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>

Breadcrumb

The active item is black and not clickable, since it’s the current page.

The book form

  • title
