Purple Clock App | Soft UI Design To HTML & CSS Using Bootstrap 5

Let’s convert a Purple Clock App Soft UI Design To HTML & CSS Using Bootstrap 5.

We’ll be using Bootstrap 5: https://v5.getbootstrap.com/

Let’s consider following UI Design: https://dribbble.com/shots/3512751-Purple-Clock

For complete guide, kindly follow the video tutorial below. You can also read along this post for the code explanation.

Let’s split the design into 4 main parts. The cities list on top, the analog clock, current day and finally the bottom menu.

To start with, let’s use bootstrap container and give it a width, height and a background colour:

<div class="container">
</div>
.container {
    width: 350px;
    height: 700px;
    background: #371b59;
    border-radius: 40px;
}

Within the container, let’s add the bootstrap row which would be the list of cities like so, with top and bottom padding of 5:

<div class="d-flex flex-row top-menu pt-5 pb-5">
    <span class="px-4 py-2">Zurich</span>
    <span class="px-4 py-2 active">Plovdiv</span>
    <span class="px-4 py-2">New York</span>
    <span class="px-4 py-2">San Francisco</span>
</div>

Let’s give styling to all the cities by using the class called ‘top-menu’:

.top-menu {
    overflow: hidden;
}

.top-menu>span {
    color: rgb(210, 255, 213, 0.3);
    font-size: 12px;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

We make use of white-space: nowrap; so that longer city names do not show up in 2 lines.

To show the active / selected city, let’s add ‘active’ class and style it like so:

.top-menu>span.active {
    color: #d2ffd5;
    position: relative;
}

.top-menu>span.active::before {
    content: "";
    width: 2px;
    height: 6px;
    background: #d2ffd5;
    position: absolute;
    left: 43px;
    top: -15px;
}

It basically shows a small tick on top of the city label.

Now, let’s create another bootstrap row and add the clock background:

<div class="mt-5 d-flex flex-row justify-content-center align-items-center">
    <div class="clock-bg"></div>
</div>

Following is the css code:

div.clock-bg {
    width: 280px;
    height: 280px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, #180138 20%, #6e39b4);
    box-shadow: 16px 28px 28px 8px #220e3a, -28px -28px 20px 0px #4b257a, inset -5px -5px 5px #6f41a7;
    filter: blur(5px);
}

You can use https://neumorphism.io/ to generate the desired effect, which essentially creates a list of box shadows. We also give a blur filter to make is look little blur as per the UI design.

Let’s now add minute and hour hand to the clock:

<div class="mt-5 d-flex flex-row justify-content-center align-items-center">
    <div class="clock-bg"></div>
    <div class="minute position-absolute"></div>
    <div class="hour position-absolute"></div>
</div>

And make both the divs as ‘position-absolute’ so that they appear at the center of the clock.

Following is the css code:

div.minute {
    width: 60px;
    height: 7px;
    background: #d2ffd5;
    border-radius: 10px;
    box-shadow: 0px 10px 15px 0px black;
    transform: rotate(280deg) translate(50px);
}

If you look at the transform property, we are first rotating the hand by 280 degrees, and then translating or moving the div from center towards the right by 50px. With this, if you update the degree, the minute hand keeps rotating appropriately. Similarly, let’s add the hour hand, like so:


div.hour {
    width: 40px;
    height: 7px;
    background: #d2ffd5;
    border-radius: 10px;
    box-shadow: 0px 10px 15px 0px black;
    transform: rotate(10deg) translate(40px);
}

Next, let’s add the day and center the text, with some margin and padding:

<div class="date text-center mt-5 pt-4">
    Sunday, July 25
</div>

And give it a styling:

div.date {
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #d2ffd5;
}

Finally, let’s add the bottom menu and for this we’ll be using FontAwesome: https://fontawesome.com/. The cdn link is : https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.14.0/css/all.min.css

<div class="d-flex flex-row bottom-menu justify-content-between py-5 px-4">
    <span><i class="fas fa-list-ul"></i></span>
    <span class="active"><i class="far fa-clock"></i></span>
    <span class=""><i class="fas fa-bullhorn"></i></span>
    <span><i class="far fa-hourglass"></i></span>
</div>

If you look at the code, we are wrapping <i> within <span>, as we make use of pseudo elements, which do not work well with just the <i> tags.

Let’s give a class of ‘bottom-menu’ with font size and colour:

.bottom-menu>span>i {
    color: rgb(210, 255, 213, 0.3);
    font-size: 14px;
}

Now, to show the tick mark on the actively selected menu item, we’ll add ‘active’ class and give it the following css code:

.bottom-menu>span.active>i {
    color: #d2ffd5;
}

.bottom-menu>span.active {
    position: relative;
}

.bottom-menu>span.active::before {
    content: '';
    width: 2px;
    height: 6px;
    background: #d2ffd5;
    position: absolute;
    left: 6px;
    bottom: -20px;
}

And finally, we can add some javascript code to rotate the hand of the clock every second:

<script>
    const minute = document.querySelector(".minute");

    let secondDeg = 0;
    setInterval(function() {
        secondDeg = secondDeg + 6;
        console.log(secondDeg);
        minute.style.transform = `rotate(${secondDeg}deg) translate(50px)`;
    }, 1000);
</script>

Note: The above JS code is just for reference and it’s added only for minute hand. To fully make it work, you need to add code similarly for hour hand and handle few conditions.
