Bulma css tutorial pdf

It’s hard to fully appreciate everything that goes into a website until you try to build one yourself. In this post, you'll discover Bulma, a relatively new player in the CSS framework space. From hosting to content to design to security, building and maintaining an online presence can be both incredibly rewarding and demanding. So, when something
comes along that lightens the load, you can be sure the web development community will be eager to try it. Such is the case with CSS frameworks. A CSS framework is a set of tools that make it easier to write CSS code. We’ll explore what makes Bulma a unique framework, why you might want to try it out, and how to get started with some of its
basic elements. Why Use Bulma CSS How to use Bulma CSS How to write Bulma CSS Let Frameworks Do The Work What is Bulma CSS? Bulma is a free class-based framework for CSS. It allows developers to implement CSS on web pages more efficiently than plain CSS. First released in 2016, Bulma has gained traction among front-end developers,
enough to compete with other well-known CSS frameworks like Bootstrap. Bulma is built on Flexbox, a CSS layout model that automatically adjusts the width of a page element based on the width of its container. Flexbox requires developers to write both HTML and CSS to create elements that adhere to this model. With Bulma, Flexbox behavior and
most other things can be handled with HTML classes. Bulma CSS is also open-source — you can view its source code in Bulma’s GitHub repository — which lets developers create new functions within the framework. Why Use Bulma CSS?

If you’ve recently picked up CSS as a language, it might seem excessive to learn a framework like Bulma on top of it. But, while CSS frameworks aren’t necessary to build a website, they can alleviate many of the challenges associated with CSS. If you want to build a website from scratch, here are some reasons why Bulma is your friend: Efficiency:
Frameworks like Bulma save you time by implementing more involved CSS effects for you. Simplicity: As we’ll see, Bulma is easy to add to your code. If you understand CSS classes, you can understand Bulma. Plus, Bulma doesn’t overwhelm with a deluge of options — it’s all CSS. Consistency: Similarly, Bulma’s syntax is consistent and intuitive, so
it’s easy to learn and easy to interpret if you didn’t write the code yourself. Capability: Bulma’s library of user interface components handles most things that websites need on the front end, including headers, menus, forms, and cards. Any of these components alone requires a lot of plain CSS to implement. With Bulma, these same elements can be
styled with just a few basic commands.
Modularity: Bulma comprises ~40 .sass files (Sass is a CSS extension language that Bulma uses), each of which handles a different interface component. But, you don’t have to import all of these files if you don't want to, only the ones you need. Read how here. Responsiveness: Since Bulma is based on Flexbox, its built-in components are responsive
by design — this means that elements will move and scale to fit any screen or viewport size. These benefits have earned Bulma a strong reputation. And, with some practice, you can produce some impressive results — check out Bulma’s showcase to get a sense of what’s possible, and use your browser's inspect element tool to see how these sites are
made. Bulma vs. Bootstrap If you’re familiar with CSS frameworks, you’re probably familiar with Bootstrap, the most popular CSS framework today.

Both Bootstrap and Bulma are free, open-source, mobile-first CSS frameworks that do similar things, but they differ in popularity, capability, and complexity. Bootstrap has been around since 2011, and has a larger user base and support community as a result. This means that you’re more likely to find solutions to advanced problems with Bootstrap
than with Bulma. However, Bulma’s documentation is detailed and straightforward, and its developer community is growing. There’s also more elements in Boostrap’s library overall, and more options for styling and implementation. You can do a lot within Bulma’s framework, but it’s worth looking into Bootstrap’s components to get a better sense of
its different offerings. It should also be noted that Bulma lacks the accessibility capabilities that Bootstrap offers, but Bulma updates often and may improve accessibility in future releases. Another important difference between the two is that Bootstrap incorporates JavaScript, a scripting language for creating dynamic website content, while Bulma
does not. JavaScript can be intimidating for new web developers. If you’re not ready to take on a new language, Bulma might be a friendlier step into CSS frameworks. While you don’t need to know JavaScript to use Bootstrap, some Bootstrap components like carousels and alerts require it. How To Use Bulma CSS Enough talk, let’s get coding. In this
section, I’ll show you how to add Bulma to your website files, then review some of Bulma’s basic features. How To Set Up Bulma First, we need to get our HTML files ready to use the Bulma framework. Make sure that the following code is at the very top of all your HTML files: Next, place the following tag in the section of your HTML files to enable
responsive elements: Now that your HTML files are ready, you have a few ways to add Bulma functionality: Use NPM To install Bulma from the NPM library, execute the following command in the terminal: Use the Bulma CSS CDN Placing the following code in the section of your HTML files also provides access to the Bulma CSS library: This is the
method I’ll be using for examples later on. Download the Bulma Files Directly You can also download the necessary files directly from Bulma’s website. After download, open the package and reference the necessary Bulma files in your HTML files. How to Write Bulma CSS Bulma’s syntax is based on HTML classes. If you want to style a page element,
just add one or more classes inside the element’s HTML tag.

Let’s see this in action first with the button component. Buttons To implement a Bulma button, add the button class to an HTML ,

, Submit , or Reset element: See the Pen Bulma CSS - Button by Christina Perricone (@hubspot) on CodePen.
Bulma recognizes the button class and applies some basic styling to make it look nice. But, we can do better than that. In addition to its basic element classes, Bulma has modifier classes that add alternative styles to elements. Modifier class names start with is- or has- followed by a style. Let’s look at how modifiers can be used on a
button, starting with the is-rounded class. This modifier class rounds the corners of our button: See the Pen Bulma CSS - Button Rounded by Christina Perricone (@hubspot) on CodePen. Modifier classes also change the color and shading of the button: See the Pen Bulma CSS - Button Color by Christina Perricone (@hubspot) on
CodePen.

As you might have guessed, we can use multiple modifier classes on the same element. Next, let’s apply a modifier class for color, and a second modifier class called is-outlined: See the Pen Bulma CSS - Button Outline by Christina Perricone (@hubspot) on CodePen. To add more details, we can use some has- modifier classes to
change the text and fill inside the buttons: See the Pen Bulma CSS - Button Text Color by Christina Perricone (@hubspot) on CodePen. Finally, we can control button size with several modifier classes: See the Pen Bulma CSS - Button Size by Christina Perricone (@hubspot) on CodePen. This is just the start of what you can do with
buttons — see the Bulma button documentation for a full list of modifiers and more. Progress Bars Let’s look at another cool element in the Bulma library, the progress bar. To place one, add the Bulma class progress to the

Buttons The code snippet that code some simple buttons is fairly simple: Small Default Normal Medium Large The output for this code looks like on this screenshot: Bulma Responsiveness Every element in Bulma is mobile-first and optimizes for vertical reading, so by default on mobile and uses 5 breakpoints:
mobile (up to 768px), tablet (from 769px), desktop (from 1024px), widescreen: from 1216px Bulma Colors To set the color of an element, we need to use the is-* in front of the desired color: Bulma - Hero Component This component can be invoked by using class "hero" as the main container and this will code a full-width banner on the page.

Team Cards Using cards for our team or pricing is quite a common component used in many templates. Bulma helps us to code a team section using a minimum CSS code: Let's take a look at the first card and analyze the relevant CSS classes:

When I'm not obsessively stressing ...

The card width has 4 cells (we need three cards on a row) The Image has the figure container and the inner "is-rounded" image The descriptors "is-5" and "is-6" are classes defined for headings objects Thanks for reading!
