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.

Project preparation

Now let’s create a brand new Bulma and Angular project with those step-by-step instructions. This chapter is going to rely on the command line pretty heavily. Don’t worry though, this chapter will document the commands needed to get your project up and running.

  • Navigate to your project directory and create a folder.
mkdir my-repos
cd my-repos
  • Creating a new application is not too complicated, but if you want to learn more features, you can read about them at cli.angular.io. Angular CLI is going to install of the dependencies needed to get the local environment up and running.
ng new sample-application --style scss --routing
cd sample-application
  • Add Bulma to your Angular application.
 npm install bulma --save
 npm install font-awesome --save

Note: This project is also using Font Awesome. Make sure you check out their documentation for more information.

  • Let’s edit the .angular-cli.json file by adding Bulma and Font Awesome to the styles...
