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.

The toolbar

In the second column of the layout (the one with column only), let’s begin by creating the meat of the body. You’ll want to first add a <h1> and give it a class of title. Bulma’s title class will make the text larger and bolder.

The toolbar is going to be horizontal and provides some extra options for users. To keep certain components inline with each other on the same level you should use the level component class.

Similarities between navbar and level

The level component acts very much like the navbar and its items. You should refrain from using the navbar classes in this case since your options are to primarily use a navigation bar.

Bulma’s level follows a simple structure:

<nav class="level">
  <div class="level-left">
    <div class="level-item">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="level-left">
    <div class="level-item">
    </div>
