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.

Customizable

Bulma has more than 300 variables, making almost any value in Bulma easy to override, allowing you to define a very personalized setup.

By using SASS, you can set your own initial variables, like overriding the blue color value, or the primary font family, or even the various responsive breakpoints.

// 1. Import the initial variables
@import "../sass/utilities/initial-variables"
@import "../sass/utilities/functions"

// 2. Set your own initial variables
// Update blue
$blue: #72d0eb

// Add pink and its invert

$pink: #ffb3b3
$pink-invert: #fff

// Add a serif family
$family-serif: "Merriweather", "Georgia", serif

// 3. Set the derived variables
// Use the new pink as the primary color
$primary: $pink
$primary-invert: $pink-invert

// Use the existing orange as the danger color
$danger: $orange

// Use the new serif family
$family-primary: $family-serif

// 4. Import the rest of Bulma
