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.

Summary

As you have seen in the building of this admin area, Bulma components come in various forms:

  • Layout utilities (section, columns, level...)
  • Single elements (box, button, input, notification...)
  • Multipart components (navbar, card, media, menu, pagination...)
  • Helper classes (has-text-grey-light, is-hidden-tablet-only...)

Most Bulma users like to combine all of these parts in a plethora of different ways, to build the UI their website needs. But most importantly, they like to customize their Bulma setup by providing their own colors and modifying the initial variables.

In the next chapter we will focus on using Bulma with Vanilla JavaScript.
