Air Force College Football Recruiting: Tradition & Tenacity
This is a configuration file, likely for a JavaScript module loader like RequireJS. Let’s break down what it contains:
1. paths:
This section defines the mapping between logical module names (used in require() calls in your JavaScript code) and the actual file paths were those modules are located. It’s organized into nested objects.
* Top-level Keys: These represent base paths or categories of modules.For example, libs suggests a directory containing third-party libraries. fly likely represents custom code within the project.
* Values: The values are the paths too the JavaScript files. These can be relative paths (relative to the location of the configuration file) or URLs.
Here’s a breakdown of some key parts:
* custom: "2.6.2" – A custom module at version 2.6.2. the path is highly likely relative to the base URL of the request.
* libs/velocity: "1.2.2" - The Velocity.js library at version 1.2.2.
* libs/dataTables: "1.10.6" – The DataTables JavaScript library at version 1.10.6.
* libs/jquery: A large number of jQuery plugins are listed here, each with a specific version. This indicates the application heavily relies on jQuery and its extensions. Examples include:
* dotdotdot: A plugin for truncating text with an ellipsis.
* flexslider: A responsive slider plugin.
* lazyload: A plugin for lazy-loading images.
* ui/*: A collection of jQuery UI widgets (core,draggable,slider,tabs,etc.).
* libs/waypoints: A set of Waypoints plugins for triggering functions as you scroll down the page.
* fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1: Underscore.js, a utility library.
* fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0: Backbone.js, a JavaScript framework.
2. shim:
This section is crucial for dealing with libraries that don’t follow the standard asynchronous module definition (AMD) format that RequireJS expects. many older libraries (like jQuery plugins) are loaded synchronously and rely on global variables. shim tells RequireJS how to handle these.
* Key: The logical module name (the name you’d use in a require() call).
* Value: An object with the following properties:
* deps: An array of dependencies that the module requires. RequireJS will load these dependencies before loading the module itself. These are also logical module names.
* exports: The name of the global variable that the module exposes. This tells RequireJS how to make the module’s functionality available to other modules.
Examples:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4. This means the SockJS library must be loaded first.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: Depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone. It exports Marionette as the global variable.
* libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4: Depends on jquery, libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core, and fly/libs/jquery.widget.
3. map:
This section defines aliases and mappings for modules. It’s used to resolve module names to specific paths or to provide alternative names for modules.
* *: This special key means the mapping applies to all modules.
* adobe-pass: Maps the logical name adobe-pass to the URL `https://sports.cbsimg.net/js/CBSi/app/Video
