Library with missing Functional / Atomic CSS classes for Bulma framework, which doesn't require Bulma framework to work
- bulma-helpers
You can use Bulma Helpers without installation directly from cdnjs. Just import file bulma-helpers.min.css
:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma-helpers/0.4.0/css/bulma-helpers.min.css" integrity="sha512-U6ELnUi7oqVEjkLmFw5r5UR5LEtvpImS/jUykBKneVhD0lxZxfJZ3k3pe003ktrtNZYungd9u3Urp2X09wKwXg==" crossorigin="anonymous" />
Link to library on cdnjs:
https://cdnjs.com/libraries/bulma-helpers
Installation is nearly the same as pure Bulma framework.
npm install bulma-helpers
or
yarn add bulma-helpers
After installation, you can import the CSS file into your project using this snippet:
import 'bulma-helpers/css/bulma-helpers.min.css'
Bulma-helpers library complies with Bulma convention of naming classes. Most of classes are of the is-*
and has-*
type. Example:
.is-borderless
or
.has-padding-top-5
One exception are pure Flexbox classes, which names just reflect modifiers. Example:
.flex-row
or
.align-center
You can use Bulma-helpers with any other CSS framework or even as a standalone library, if you want to write Functional / Atomic CSS code. Keep in mind that Bulma-helpers library bases on Sass, so you will need basic knowledge of Sass to customize the library.
Bulma-helpers, equally to Bulma, is a CSS library. As such, the sole output is a single CSS file: bulma-helpers.css
You can either use that file, "out of the box", or download the Sass source files to customize the variables or choose which modules do you want to use.
There is no JavaScript included.
Bulma-helpers, equally to Bulma, uses autoprefixer to make (most) Flexbox features compatible with earlier browser versions. According to Can I use, Bulma is compatible with recent versions of:
- Chrome
- Edge
- Firefox
- Opera
- Safari
Internet Explorer (10+) is only partially supported.
All modules are toggled on and all variables have some values by default. You can customize these values by assigning your values to variables, defined in the library. All available variables you can find in corresponding files in variables
directory. Toggling off media queries (variables for this you can find in sass/helpers/variables/media-queries.sass
, for example $enable-flex-media-queries
) will decrease size of the library dramatically.
- Make sure you have
node-sass
installed. If not, install it. (npm install node-sass --save-dev
) - Create script for compiliting
SCSS
toCSS
, i.e."customize-css": "node-sass --omit-source-map-url ./src/scss/bulma-helpers-customization.scss ./src/css/bulma-helpers-customization.css"
. Add this script toscripts
section inpackage.json
. As you can see in script, our file in which we will customizebulma-helpers
is calledbulma-helpers-customization.scss
. The resultCSS
output will be inbulma-helpers-customization.css
(notice the different extension of file). - Create
SCSS
file in which you will customizebulma-helpers
variables (i.e.scss/bulma-helpers-customization.scss
) - Define variables which you want to override, before importing
bulma-helpers
in created file.
Example content of file with customization:
@charset "utf-8";
$sizing-range-start: 1;
$sizing-range-end: 666;
$sizing-interval: 6;
@import "../../node_modules/bulma-helpers/bulma-helpers.sass";
- Run compiling script to build new
css
file, i.e.npm run customize-css
- Import result file (in this example -
bulma-helpers-customization.css
) in your scss file, i.e.@import "css/bulma-helpers-customization.css";
Default unit in code and in this README is px
, but you can change it to any unit, for example em
or rem
. Change will be global for all helpers.
$default-unit: 'px' !default
For all generated classes (such as has-margin-bottom-*
, where *
is value from given range) there is a simple way to change range and interval of generated classes. You can change the following variables in corresponding sass files. All variables follow the same pattern, shown below.
$sizing-range-start: 50 !default
$sizing-range-end: 400 !default
$sizing-interval: 50 !default
We've got name of customized value
, such as sizing
or spacing
, then variable's meaning, such as range-start
, range-end
and interval
.
For media queries, the rule is the same. The only difference is that rest of variable's name is preceded by mq
.
$mq-sizing-range-start: 50 !default
$mq-sizing-range-end: 400 !default
$mq-sizing-interval: 50 !default
You can decide whether you want to include media queries in your project or not. In variables/media-queries.sass
file you can find variables which allows you to customize your Bulma-helpers. All of defined variables are built on top of the following pattern:
$enable-media-queries: true !default
This variables enables/disables all media queries in the project.
For choosing certain modules, such as max/min width/height sizing media queries, you can assign a value to variables such as:
$enable-sizing-max-min-width-height-media-queries: true !default
Breakpoints are same as default breakpoints in Bulma. If you want to change them, then just override the same breakpoint variables as in Bulma, for example:
$tablet: 800px
Units for the spacing and media query spacing helpers are using pixels by default. If you want to generate classes for additional units (such as rem or em), override the list of unit variables, which allows for a single unit or list of units. For example:
$additional-spacing-units: 'rem' 'em'
Generated spacing and media query classes for the above configuration will result in new spacing classes appended with -rem
or -em
. For example, has-margin-5-rem
and has-margin-5-em
.
By default, all modules are included in result build. Even so, you can decide on your own which modules do you want to use in your project.
To achieve this, you have to remove unwanted sass modules imports from main _all.sass
files in helpers directory or remove single file imports from _all.sass
in corresponding modules directories.

$additional-spacing-units: () !default // this can be configured with additional unit type(s) to use for the spacing and media query spacing helpers
All values are represented by pixels with the exception for the spacing helpers, which allows for configuration of additional units, so e.g. has-max-width-50
class means that this element's maximal width is 50px.

By default, media queries for sizing and spacing are toggled on. You can use media queries in exactly the same as in Bulma framework. Just add postfix to classname with breakpoints name, such as -mobile
or -widescreen-only
.
There are few defined breakpoints - mobile, tablet, tablet-only, touch, desktop, desktop-only, widescreen, widescreen-only, fullhd. Everything as in Bulma! You can read more here.
$gap: 64px !default
$tablet: 769px !default
$desktop: 960px + (2 * $gap) !default
