Bulma form controls

In this guide, we will discuss Form Controls in Bulma.

Description

Bulma contains different types of form control classes for creating a variety of forms. It supports the following form control classes −

  • .label
  • .input
  • .textarea
  • .select
  • .checkbox
  • .radio
  • .button
  • .help

The Bulma form controls classes can be wrapped in the .control class container and uses the .field container, to keep space between form control classes.

Form Fields with Icons

Bulma provides 2 types of modifiers on control class container.

  • has-icons-left
  • has-icons-right

You need to use other modifiers such as icon is-left class with has-icons-left class and icon is-right class with has-icons-right class along with the icon class.

The below simple example describes form fields with icons by using has-icons-left and has-icons-right classes −

Form Addons and Form Group

By using form addons, you can easily prepend and append text or buttons to the text-based inputs. By adding prepended and appended content to an input field, you can add common elements to the user’s input. The form controls can be added together by using has-addons modifier and group the form controls by using is-grouped modifier on the field container.

The below simple example describes use of form addons (using has-addons modifier) and form group (using is-grouped modifier) on the field container −
