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 to 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 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 collection of jQuery plugins.this shows the project heavily relies on jQuery and its ecosystem. Examples include:
* libs/jquery/dotdotdot: A plugin for truncating text with an ellipsis.
* libs/jquery/flexslider: A responsive slider plugin.
* libs/jquery/lazyload: A plugin for lazy-loading images.
* libs/jquery/ui/...: A comprehensive set of jQuery UI widgets (autocomplete, accordion, tabs, dialog, etc.).All versions are 1.11.4.
* libs/waypoints: A set of Waypoints plugins for triggering functions as you scroll down the page.
* fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1: The Underscore.js utility library.
* fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0: The Backbone.js framework.
2. shim:
This section is crucial for dealing with modules that don’t follow the standard asynchronous module definition (AMD) format that RequireJS expects. These are typically older scripts that were written to load synchronously and rely on global variables. The shim configuration tells requirejs how to load these modules and make them available to other modules.
* Key: The logical module name (the name you’ll use in require()).
* Value: An object with the following properties:
* deps: An array of module names that this module depends on. RequireJS will load these dependencies before loading the shimmed module.
* exports: The name of the global variable that the module creates. RequireJS will assign the module’s return value to this global variable, making it 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 a 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 module aliases and versioning.It’s used to resolve module names to specific versions or alternative paths.
* *: This means the mapping applies to all modules.
* adobe-pass: Maps to a specific URL for the Adobe Pass JavaScript library.
*
