The select
class is a simple wrapper around the <select>
HTML element, which gives the styling more flexibility and support for icons.
{{ select_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ select_example }}{% endhighlight %}
Several modifiers are supported which affect:
{% include elements/anchor.html name="Multiple select" %}
You can style a multiple select dropdown, by using the is-multiple
modifier, and by using the multiple
HTML attribute.
{{ select_multiple_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ select_multiple_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{% include elements/anchor.html name="Colors" %}
{{ colors_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ colors_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{% include elements/anchor.html name="Styles" %}
{% include elements/new-tag.html version="0.6.2" %}
You can create a rounded dropdown by appending the is-rounded
modifier:
{{ rounded_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ rounded_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{% include elements/anchor.html name="Sizes" %}
The select
element comes in 4 different sizes:
{{ sizes_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ sizes_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{% include elements/anchor.html name="States" %}
Bulma styles the different states of the select
element. Each state is available as a pseudo-class and a CSS class:
-
:hover
and is-hovered
-
:focus
and is-focused
-
:active
and is-active
This allows you to obtain the style of a certain state without having to trigger it.
Normal
{{ normal_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ normal_example }}{% endhighlight %}
Hover
{{ hover_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ hover_example }}{% endhighlight %}
Focus
{{ focus_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ focus_example }}{% endhighlight %}
Loading
{{ loading_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ loading_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{% include elements/anchor.html name="With icons" %}
You can append the modifier on a control:
You also need to add a modifier on the icon:
-
icon is-left
since has-icons-left
is used
The size of the select will define the size of the icon container.
{{ icons_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ icons_example }}{% endhighlight %}
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.
{{ has_icons_small_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ has_icons_small_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{{ has_icons_normal_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ has_icons_normal_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{{ has_icons_medium_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ has_icons_medium_example }}{% endhighlight %}
{{ has_icons_large_example }}
{% highlight html %}{{ has_icons_large_example }}{% endhighlight %}
