Modal sizes

Basic modal

Bulma modals are a flexible component. It acts like a container that can hold any type of content. This is a basic implementation displaying a simple flex card. To use, add the class .modal-trigger to the element that is supposed to trigger the modal after being clicked. Add data-modal="MyModalID" to the same element to target the appropriate modal.

        </div>

Small modal

Bulma ships only with a predefined modal size. Bulkit adds two more sizes : small modals and large modals. To create a small modal, add the .modal-sm to the .modal wrapper.

Card modal

If you want to display more complex content in your modal, card modals might be a good option. Modal sizes are still relevant and will resize your card according to the chosen size. Just add the .modal-card class to the .modal-content element. You can then set a header (.modal-card-head), a body (.modal-card-body) and a footer (.modal-card-footer).
