Can react-chessground work with chessground@8 or above?

I created a react app where react-chessground works with chessground@7.16.13

And now I'm tryin to upgrade chessground to version 8.2.1, but there are 8 errors like:

ERROR in ./node_modules/react-chessground/node_modules/chessground/chessground.js 1:0-30
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './api' in 'C:\User\file\node_modules\react-chessground\node_modules\chessground'
Did you mean 'api.js'?
BREAKING CHANGE: The request './api' failed to resolve only because it was resolved as fully specified
(probably because the origin is strict EcmaScript Module, e. g. a module with javascript mimetype, a '*.mjs' file, or a '*.js' file where the package.json contains '"type": "module"').
The extension in the request is mandatory for it to be fully specified.
Add the extension to the request.

The same for './config', './state', './wrap', './events', './render', './svg', './util'.

This is my code:

import { useState } from "react";
import Chessground from "react-chessground";
import "./chess.css";
import "./styles.css";
import "./theme.css";
import toDests from "./to-dests";
import { Chess } from "chess.js";

export default function Board() {
    const [fen, setFen] = useState(
        "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"
    );

    const chess = new Chess(fen);
    const turnColor = chess.turn() === "w" ? "white" : "black";
  
    const handleMove = ( from, to ) => {
      chess.move({ from, to, promotion: "q" });
      setFen(chess.fen());
    };

    return (
        <div className="justChessBoard">
          <div>
            <Chessground
              fen={fen}
              turnColor={turnColor}
              onMove={handleMove}
              movable={toDests(chess)}
            />
          </div>
        </div>
    );
}

Am I doing something wrong or it just doesn't work together?

Solution

  • Chessground control released the first v8.0.0-beta1 version on Jun 16, 2021. See tags for more details.

    At the same time the last release of react-chessground control is from Apr 18, 2018.

    Usually major version increment means breaking at least some APIs. Authors (or community) needs to update react-chessground control.

    Since the react-chessground control was updated quite some time ago, it is possible that it is not being developed anymore. But there are 52 forks of this repository. Maybe one of recent ones does work with v8.
