Including Styles and Scripts

To begin using Bulma Modal FX, you’ll need to include the necessary CSS and JS files in your project. You can either download and host these files yourself or use a CDN.

<!-- related modal with fx class modal-fx-fadeInScale -->

    <div class="modal-background"></div>
    <div class="modal-content">
        <!-- Any other Bulma elements you want -->
        <div><button class="modal-close is-large" aria-label="close"></button></div>

</div>
