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.

{% include snippet.html content=example more=true %} {% include anchor.html name="Form field" %}

The field container is a simple container for:

a text label
a form control
an optional helptext

{% include snippet.html content=field_example %}

This container allows form fields to be spaced consistently.

{% include snippet.html content=fields_example %} {% include anchor.html name="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

{% include snippet.html content=control_input_example %} {% include snippet.html content=control_select_example %} {% include snippet.html content=control_button_example %} {% include anchor.html name="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.

{% include snippet.html content=icons_example clipped=true %}

You can append icons to select dropdowns as well.

{% include snippet.html content=select_icons_example %}

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.

{% include snippet.html content=has_icons_small_example %} {% include snippet.html content=has_icons_normal_example clipped=true %} {% include snippet.html content=has_icons_medium_example clipped=true %} {% include snippet.html content=has_icons_large_example clipped=true %} {% include anchor.html name="Form addons" %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=addons_example %}

You can attach inputs, buttons, and dropdowns only.

It can be useful to append a static button.

{% include snippet.html content=addons_static_example %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=addons_expanded_example horizontal=true more=true %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=addons_expanded_fullwidth_example %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=addons_center_example %} {% include snippet.html content=addons_right_example %} {% include anchor.html name="Form group" %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=group_example %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=group_centered_example %} {% include snippet.html content=group_right_example %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=group_expanded_example %}

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

{% include snippet.html content=group_multiline_example clipped=true %}

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.

{% include anchor.html name="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.

{% include snippet.html content=horizontal_form_example horizontal=true more=true %}

To preserve the vertical alignment of labels with each type and size of control, the .field-label comes with 4 size modifiers:

.is-small
.is-normal for any .input or .button
.is-medium
.is-large

{% include snippet.html content=field_label_example horizontal=true more=true %} {% include anchor.html name="Variables" %}

Form elements can be customized using the following generic variables. Simply set one or multiple of these variables before importing Bulma. Learn how.

{% for key in page.variables_controls_keys %} {% assign variable = site.data.variables.utilities.controls.vars[key] %} {% endfor %} {% for key in page.variables_form_keys %} {% assign variable = site.data.variables.elements.form.vars[key] %} {% endfor %}
