Form controls

All generic form controls, designed for consistency

The following form controls classes are supported:

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

Each of them should be wrapped in a .control container.
When combining several controls in a form, use the .field class as a container, to keep the spacing consistent.

Form field #

The field container is a simple container for:

a text label
a form control
an optional helptext

Label

This is a help text

      <div class="field">
  <label class="label">Label</label>
  <div class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Text input">
  </div>
  <p class="help">This is a help text</p>
</div>
    

This container allows form fields to be spaced consistently.

Name

      <div class="field">
  <label class="label">Name</label>
  <div class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="e.g Alex Smith">
  </div>
</div>

<div class="field">
  <label class="label">Email</label>
  <div class="control">
    <input class="input" type="email" placeholder="e.g. [email protected]">
  </div>
</div>
    

Form control #

The control is a versatile container meant to enhance single form controls. Because it has the same height as a control elements, it can only contain the following elements:

input
select
button
icon

      <div class="control">
  <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Text input">
</div>
    

      <div class="control">
  <div class="select">
    <select>
      <option>Select dropdown</option>
      <option>With options</option>
    </select>
  </div>
</div>
    

      <div class="control">
  <button class="button is-primary">Submit</button>
</div>
    

With icons #

You can append one of 2 modifiers on a control:

has-icons-left
and/or has-icons-right

You also need to add a modifier on the icon:

icon is-left if has-icons-left is used
icon is-right if has-icons-right is used

The size of the input will define the size of the icon container.

<div class="field">
  <p class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
    <input class="input" type="email" placeholder="Email">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
    </span>
    <span class="icon is-small is-right">
      <i class="fas fa-check"></i>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>
<div class="field">
  <p class="control has-icons-left">
    <input class="input" type="password" placeholder="Password">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-lock"></i>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>
<div class="field">
  <p class="control">
    <button class="button is-success">
      Login
    </button>
  </p>
</div>

You can append icons to select dropdowns as well.

      <div class="field">
  <p class="control has-icons-left">
    <span class="select">
      <select>
        <option selected>Country</option>
        <option>Select dropdown</option>
        <option>With options</option>
      </select>
    </span>
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-globe"></i>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>
    

If the control contains an icon, Bulma will make sure the icon remains centered, no matter the size of the input or of the icon.

Small input

      <div class="field">
  <label class="label is-small">Small input</label>
  <div class="control has-icons-left has-icons-right">
    <input class="input is-small" type="email" placeholder="Normal">
    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
      <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i>
    </span>
    <span class="icon is-small is-right">

Form addons #

If you want to attach controls together, use the has-addons modifier on the field container:

      <div class="field has-addons">
  <div class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Find a repository">
  </div>
  <div class="control">
    <a class="button is-info">
      Search
    </a>
  </div>
</div>
    

You can attach inputs, buttons, and dropdowns only.

It can be useful to append a static button.

@gmail.com

      <div class="field has-addons">
  <p class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Your email">
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-static">
      @gmail.com
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Use the is-expanded modifier on the element you want to fill up the remaining space (in this case, the input):

Transfer

      <div class="field has-addons">
  <p class="control">
    <span class="select">
      <select>
        <option>$</option>
        <option>£</option>
        <option>€</option>
      </select>
    </span>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Amount of money">
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Transfer
    </a>
  </p>
</div>

<div class="field has-addons">
  <p class="control">
    <span class="select">
      <select>
        <option>$</option>
        <option>£</option>
        <option>€</option>
      </select>
    </span>
  </p>
  <p class="control is-expanded">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Amount of money">
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Transfer
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

If you want a full width select dropdown, pair control is-expanded with select is-fullwidth.

      <div class="field has-addons">
  <div class="control is-expanded">
    <div class="select is-fullwidth">
      <select name="country">
        <option value="Argentina">Argentina</option>
        <option value="Bolivia">Bolivia</option>
        <option value="Brazil">Brazil</option>
        <option value="Chile">Chile</option>
        <option value="Colombia">Colombia</option>
        <option value="Ecuador">Ecuador</option>
        <option value="Guyana">Guyana</option>
        <option value="Paraguay">Paraguay</option>
        <option value="Peru">Peru</option>
        <option value="Suriname">Suriname</option>
        <option value="Uruguay">Uruguay</option>
        <option value="Venezuela">Venezuela</option>
      </select>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="control">
    <button type="submit" class="button is-primary">Choose</button>
  </div>
</div>
    

Use the has-addons-centered or the has-addons-right modifiers to alter the alignment.

Transfer

      <div class="field has-addons has-addons-centered">
  <p class="control">
    <span class="select">
      <select>
        <option>$</option>
        <option>£</option>
        <option>€</option>
      </select>
    </span>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Amount of money">
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-primary">
      Transfer
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Transfer

      <div class="field has-addons has-addons-right">
  <p class="control">
    <span class="select">
      <select>
        <option>$</option>
        <option>£</option>
        <option>€</option>
      </select>
    </span>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Amount of money">
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-primary">
      Transfer
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Form group #

If you want to group controls together, use the is-grouped modifier on the field container.

Submit

Cancel

      <div class="field is-grouped">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-primary">
      Submit
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-light">
      Cancel
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Use the is-grouped-centered or the is-grouped-right modifiers to alter the alignment.

Submit

Cancel

      <div class="field is-grouped is-grouped-centered">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-primary">
      Submit
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-light">
      Cancel
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Submit

Cancel

      <div class="field is-grouped is-grouped-right">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-primary">
      Submit
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-light">
      Cancel
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Add the is-expanded modifier on the control element you want to fill up the remaining space with.

      <div class="field is-grouped">
  <p class="control is-expanded">
    <input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Find a repository">
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button is-info">
      Search
    </a>
  </p>
</div>
    

Add the is-grouped-multiline modifier to allow controls to fill up multiple lines. This is ideal for a long list of controls.

<div class="field is-grouped is-grouped-multiline">
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      One
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Two
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Three
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Four
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Five
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Size
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Seven
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Eight
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Nine
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Ten
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Eleven
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Twelve
    </a>
  </p>
  <p class="control">
    <a class="button">
      Thirteen
    </a>
  </p>
</div>

List of buttons

If you only need a list of buttons, try out the new buttons class with which you can create a multiline list of buttons.

Horizontal form #

If you want a horizontal form control, use the is-horizontal modifier on the field container, in which you include:

field-label for the side label
field-body for the input/select/textarea container

You can use is-grouped or has-addons for the child elements.
