Versions 3.0.0 and 4.0.0 introduce some breaking changes with regard to the previous versions. To determine whether your codebase needs to be adapted or not when upgrading Kokopu, please look at:
const { Position } = require('kokopu');
// Create a new position, play some moves...
const position = new Position();
position.play('e4');
position.play('e5');
position.play('Nf3');
// Display an ASCII-art representation of the position.
console.log(position.ascii());
