You can pass a config object to the chessboard component to modify the board to your needs, as a prop (:board-config). The config object is optional and will be merged with the default config.
The default config is based on the lichess board config.
Additionally custom callback functions can be passed to the component.
For example a custom function can be run on piece selection or after each move.

$3

The chessboard component provides an API to interact with the chessboard. The API is accessible via the board-created event. The event will be emitted when the chessboard is created and ready to use.
