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.

Final Summary

Thanks to being written in Sass, Bulma is very easy to customize. By overriding a few variables, you can quickly turn the default design into your own branded one.

Lots of developers have used Bulma as a framework to build upon because it comes with sensible defaults that ensure a visually balanced and easy to understand interface. Adding your own personal touch is simply a matter of updating colors, adding some fonts, and tweaking the spacing.

Bulma is also modular: with the same setup, instead of importing the rest of Bulma, you can choose to import specific components individually. Each component comes with its own set of variables. Learn more about modularity.

Check out the Bulma Expo to get inspired.

We hope you have enjoyed this book and are ready to implement Bulma in your own creations!
