Creating Interfaces with Bulma

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.

Simple columns system

Bulma is mostly famous for its straightforward columns architecture:

<div class="columns">
  <div class="column">
    <!-- First column -->
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    <!-- Second column -->
  </div>
</div>

That’s it! It only takes two classes (columns for the container, column for the child items) to have a set of responsive columns. You don’t have to specify any dimensions: both columns will each take 50% of the width automatically.

If you want a third column, just add another column:

<div class="columns">
  <div class="column">
    <!-- First column -->
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    <!-- Second column -->
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    <!-- Third column -->
  </div>
</div>

Each column will now take up 33% of the width. No additional change is required! Continue this and put as many columns in as your want. Bulma will automatically adjust the size.
