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.

Quick overview of Create-React-App

Create-React-App already does all of the hard work of setting up a development environment for you. From here, you just need to create the components and stylesheets (if any).

For this chapter, we’re going to keep all components and their children in their own directory.

src/
- components/
  - Login/
    - Login.jsx
    - LoginForm.jsx
    - styles/ (if any)
      - Login.css

Login.jsx will act as the container with LoginForm.jsx nested inside it. Setting up the components this way will let you move or add your login form anywhere in the application.

The app structure

You are going to be renaming some files, creating directories for your assets, and creating directories for your components. At a very high level, your directory structure inside the src folder should resemble this...

src/
  - assets/
  - actions/
  - components/
    - ComponentName/
      - ComponentName.jsx
      - ComponentNameChild.jsx
      - ComponentNameOtherChild.jsx...
