Flexbox is a hot topic for frontend developers since it offers a modern approach to CSS alignments<\/strong>. Most website layouts rely on CSS floats<\/a> or fixed percentages to keep content blocks in line.<\/p>\n

But flexbox<\/a> changes all the rules and with a framework like Bulma<\/a> you can build full layouts on flexbox<\/strong>. This is a brand new CSS framework still in the early stages of development, but with a lot to offer.<\/p>\n

For such a young project it seems like Bulma is brimming with potential. Bulma offers a modern CSS framework <\/strong>and responsive strategy<\/strong> for layout design. With flexbox you can structure any number of block elements to align next to each other<\/strong> and break down<\/strong> at certain breakpoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a simple class of .columns<\/strong> you can add as many divs as you want<\/strong> and keep the layout consistent. You can change the column classes to make some wider<\/strong> than others and to have some align differently.<\/p>\n

Both horizontal and vertical alignment is super easy with this framework. Never again will you need to hack together a CSS solution at the last minute.<\/p>\n

The best part is that most modern browsers support flexbox<\/a> with the exception of Internet Explorer. But with Microsoft moving over to Edge<\/a> it\u2019ll be much easier to use a framework like Bulma without concern for legacy support.<\/p>\n

\"caniuse<\/a><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting this isn\u2019t just a flexbox framework. It\u2019s a full CSS library with default styles for typography, buttons, input fields<\/strong>, and other common page elements<\/strong>. Bulma is completely free and comes with excellent documentation<\/a> if you\u2019re willing to dive in and start building.<\/p>\n

And if you don\u2019t want to download Bulma locally you can still try it out using the online CDN<\/a>. The online documentation should be more than enough to get you started, particularly the grids page<\/a> which you can use for building a full layout structure.<\/p>\n

\"bulma<\/figure>\n

Bulma is currently in version 0.2.3 so it has a long way to go before the v1.0 release. Even in its current version it\u2019s still quite usable and it offers a lot of potential for the future.<\/p>\n

To learn more check out the official GitHub repo<\/a> or visit the Bulma webpage<\/a> for install instructions and full documentation.<\/p>\n
