If you’re looking to integrate a sleek and modern UI in your React applications, look no further! React Bulma Components provide a collection of easy-to-use components designed specifically for the Bulma framework. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to install and use these components effortlessly.

Getting Started with Installation

To begin your journey with React Bulma Components, you first need to install it. You have two options for installation: npm or yarn. Choose the one that fits your development style.

• For npm users, run:

npm install react-bulma-components

• For yarn users, execute:

yarn add -E react-bulma-components

Using React Bulma Components

Once installed, using the components is quite simple. Below, you’ll find an analogy to help you visualize the implementation:

Imagine you are a chef (developer) in a kitchen (your project) and you want to make a delicious dish (UI component) using prepared ingredients (React Bulma Components) from your pantry (library). You simply need to import the ingredients you need and combine them to create a scrumptious meal.

Here’s how you can create a button using React Bulma Components:

import React from 'react';
import 'bulma/css/bulma.min.css';
import { Button } from 'react-bulma-components';

export default () => (
  My Bulma button
);

In this example, you’re importing the Button component, just like picking an ingredient from your pantry. You specify its color, and voilà! You have a stylish button ready to go.

Form Components

To use form elements, you can access them through the Form class. For example:

import { Form } from 'react-bulma-components';

const { Input, Field, Control, Label } = Form;

SASS Support and Best Practices

React Bulma Components support SASS, and you don’t need to change your CSS logic or do any extra setup to get started. Simply follow the instructions provided in the official Bulma documentation to ensure your CSS is correctly imported.

With version 4 onwards, you can take advantage of tree shaking, allowing you to bundle only the components you’ve used in your project. This keeps your application lightweight.

Troubleshooting Tips

While working with React Bulma Components, you may encounter challenges. Here are a few troubleshooting ideas:

• Component Not Rendering: Ensure that the component is imported correctly and the correct CSS file is being called. Check for typos or incorrect paths.
• Custom Links Not Functional: When rendering a link with React Router, make sure you’re utilizing the renderAs prop.

import { Button } from 'react-bulma-components';
import { Link } from 'react-router';

const CustomLink = (to) => (
  My react-router link
);

• Ref Not Working: Ensure you’re using domRef correctly to pass down the reference to the desired DOM element.
