Bulma Direction Mixins

Last Updated : 07 Oct, 2022

In this article, we will know about Bulma Direction Mixins. Bulma Direction Mixins are the mixins that help the users to add left or right alignment to the HTML element.

Bulma uses Sass mixins to create the CSS output and they are mainly used within the context of the Bulma framework. Bulma has various different types of Direction mixins as given below:

Left-to-right and Right-to-left Mixins: These Direction mixins are used to create a down-facing arrow.
LTR Position: These Direction mixins are used to quickly switch between left and right CSS properties when dealing with positioning elements.
LTR Property: These Direction mixins are used not only to quickly switch between left and right CSS properties. But also allows users to set the positioning CSS property.

Syntax:

.bulma-[Direction  Mixin Name]-mixin {
     @include [Direction  Mixin Name](params);
}

Note: You must know the implementation of SASS mixins for the below examples. Please see the pre-requisite given on the link and then implement the below code.
