What is Bulma?

Bulma is primarily a CSS framework, meaning its output is a single, elegant CSS file with no JavaScript bundled in it. It’s designed to allow you the freedom to implement your JavaScript as needed while providing a solid base for styling with a modern mobile-first approach.

After installation, import the CSS into your project using this snippet:
