Getting started #
This package exports a Chessboard widget which can be interactable or not.
It is configurable with a ChessboardSettings object which defines the board
behavior and appearance.
To interact with the board in order to play a game, you must provide a GameData
object to the Chessboard widget. This object is immutable and contains the game
state (which side is to move, the current valid moves, etc.), along with the
callback functions to handle user interactions.
All chess logic must be handled outside of this package. Any change in the state
of the game needs to be transferred to the board by creating a new GameData object.
Usage #
This will display a non-interactable board from the starting position, using the
default theme:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:chessground/chessground.dart';

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);

@override
State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
String fen = 'rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR';

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final double screenWidth = MediaQuery.of(context).size.width;

return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Chessground demo'),
),
body: Center(
child: Chessboard.fixed(
size: screenWidth,
orientation: Side.white,
fen: fen,
),
),
);
}
}
