bulmalite v0.9.1

Bulmalite

A wip unofficial Vue 3 implementation of the Bulma CSS framework.

The principles behind this project:

• Modularity
• Leveraging of typescript functionality
• Usage of slots in stead of child components
• Bulma style modifier props
• Props add functionality
• Passing of native bulma classes is preferred above custom props

Bulmalite >= 0.6 is only compatible with Vue 3.x

Comparisons

These comparisons demonstrate some of the effects the principles outlined above.

Icons

Buefy:

<b-icon pack="fas" icon="user" size="is-small"></b-icon>

Bulmalite:

<bl-icon class="is-small" icon="fas fa-user"></bl-icon>

class is used to pass the native .is-small to the icon. The icon itself can be specified in a single prop.

Modals

Buefy

<b-modal :active.sync="isModalActive" :canCancel="false"></b-modal>

Bulmalite

<bl-modal v-model="isModalActive"></bl-modal>

Two way binding with bulmalite components uses v-model by default. There is no need to disable modal close behavoir options, props can only add functionality.

For example:

<bl-modal v-model="isModalActive" has-modal-close has-background-close></bl-modal>

Props use a bulma-like syntax.

Install

npm install bulmalite

Usage

Javascript

Register all components as a plugin

import { createApp } from 'vue';

import bulmalite from 'bulmalite';

// Create a Vue 3 app the normal way
const myApp = createApp(App);

// Register bulmalite 
myApp.use(bulmalite);

Default component names are prefixed with 'bl-';

You can also include individual components from the dist directory

import BlDropdown from 'bulmalite/dist/components/dropdown/Dropdown.vue';

// Add the bulmalite component to the vue component options
export default {
  components: {
    BlDropdown,  
  },
  ...
} 

Sass

Bulmalite assumes your dev environment is set up to support .scss files

You can import all stylesheets directly in Javascript or Sass-files

import 'node_modules/bulmalite/sass/bulmalite.scss';

@import 'node_modules/bulmalite/sass/bulmalite';

Or load individual styles

import 'node_modules/bulmalite/sass/components/dropdown.scss';

@import 'node_modules/bulmalite/sass/components/dropdown';

Docs

Documentation is under development in the /docs/ folder.

Development

Bulmalite is developed using typescript. View models use the composition API and contained in a seperate .ts file.

Compile the typescript files with either tsc -d. To transfer the .vue template files from /src to /lib you can use the included script by running npm run collect. npm run build takes care of both steps.
