how to save current game in chessboard.js

Question

But I am facing a problem. I want to save a current game without end, save the current position and next time to use saved current position.

var cfg = { 
        position: 'r1bqkbnr/pppp1ppp/2n5/1B2p3/4P3/5N2/PPPP1PPP/RNBQK2R'
    };
var board = new ChessBoard('board', cfg);

Current position is showed correctly. But when I move, it goes to "start" state.

~~For storing in browser you could use cookies or localstorage.~~

~~Alternatively, you could send state to server and later read it using AJAX.~~

EDIT:

Looks like you have mistake in script. Instead of

new ChessBoard('board', cfg);

you should do

new ChessBoard('board', cfg.position);

You can return the state of the board using

var saved_positions =  ChessBoard.objToFen(board.position())

...or if you're using the chess.js library for managing the game you can simply use

var saved_positions = game.fen()

both will return a string containing the position of every piece on the board.

Then to load the saved board position with animations you can use:

 board.position(saved_position, true);

or to instantly set the positions

 board.position(saved_position, false);

Enjoy.
