Maintenance Status

This repository and the package are not being actively maintained. Consider using alternatives such as:

gtim/svelte-chessground

A wrapper around https://github.com/ornicar/chessground that allows it to be used with svelte through use:

Usage

The package has two named exports, Chessground and cgStylesHelper along with css files to change how the board looks.

If you decide to use the stylesheets provided by the package, the chessboard will be 100% width and height of the parent. The following css variables are available for basic customisation.

Variable	Purpose	Type
--cg-url-board	Sets the image to use as the board.	<url>
--cg-url-[pieceName]	Sets the image to use as the representation for each piece. pieceName is one of `['wK', 'wQ', 'wR', 'wB', 'wN', 'wP', 'bK', 'bQ', 'bR', 'bB', 'bN', 'bP']`	<url>
--cg-ccw	Color of white coords	<color>
--cg-ccb	Color of black coords	<color>
--cg-cs	Coords text shadow.	Text shadow

The first two can be set manually or you can use the cgStylesHelper action to set them.

<script>
	import { Chessground, cgStylesHelper } from 'svelte-use-chessground';
	import 'svelte-use-chessground/cgstyles/chessground.css';

	let cgApi;
	let config = {};

	function initializer(api) {
		cgApi = api;
		// A named function might not be necessary but I've encountered infinite loops while using an inline initializer function.
	}
</script>

<div
	use:Chessground="{{config, initializer}}"
	use:cgStylesHelper="{{ piecesFolderUrl: '/images/pieces/merida', boardUrl: '/images/board/blue.svg' }}"
/>

SvelteKit

When using with svelte-kit, adding chessground to vite.ssr.noExternal might be a good idea.
