A Django base theme based on Bulma (bulma.io). Bulma is a modern CSS framework based on Flexbox.

*** work in progress ***

1. Install the python package django-bulma from pip

pip install django-bulma

Alternatively, you can install download or clone this repo and call pip install -e ..

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:

'bulma',

3. If you want to use the provided base template, extend from bulma/base.html:

{% extends 'bulma/base.html' %}
{% block title %}Bulma Site{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
  Content goes here...
{% endblock content %}

4. If you want to customize bulma sass and your own components:

   4.1 Copy bulma static files into your project's STATIC_ROOT:

   python manage.py copy_bulma_static_into_project
   

   You should see bulma dir appeared in your STATIC_ROOT. It contains two dirs:

   • sass - this is the place where you can put your own sass code and customize bulma variables
   • css - this is where compiled sass output goes, you should link this file in your base.html

   4.2 Install npm packages for sass compilation to work:

   python manage.py bulma install
   

   4.3 Start sass watch mode:

   python manage.py bulma start
   

5. For forms, in your templates, load the bulma_tags library and use the |bulma filters:

   Example template

   {% load bulma_tags %}
   {# Display a form #}
   <form action="/url/to/submit/" method="post">
      {% csrf_token %}
      {{ form|bulma }}
      <div class="field">
        <button type="submit" class="button is-primary">Login</button>
      </div>
      <input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}"/>
   </form>
