This is a configuration file, likely for a JavaScript module loader like RequireJS. LetS 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 where those modules are located. It’s organized into nested objects.
* Top-Level paths: This is the main mapping. Such as:
* ".custom": "2.6.2": Means that when your code does require(".custom"), the loader will look for a file at 2.6.2 (presumably a relative path, or a path defined elsewhere).
* "libs/velocity": "1.2.2": require("libs/velocity") will load the file at 1.2.2.
* "libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker": "1.11.4": require("libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker") will load the file at 1.11.4.
* libs: A common convention is to group third-party libraries under a libs directory. This configuration shows a lot of jQuery UI widgets, datatables plugins, and other utility libraries.
* fly: Another directory,likely containing custom or framework-specific code.
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) were written before AMD was common.shim tells RequireJS how to load these libraries and make them available to your code.
* liveconnection/managers/connection: This module depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4. The deps array lists the dependencies.
* liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4: This library exports a global variable named SockJS. The exports property tells RequireJS to assign the value of the global SockJS to the module’s return value.
* libs/setValueFromArray and libs/getValueFromArray: These also export global variables named set and get respectively.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: This is a more complex example. It depends on jQuery, Underscore, and Backbone. It also exports a global variable named Marionette.
* fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1 and fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0: These libraries export global variables _ and Backbone respectively.
* libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4: This jQuery UI tab widget depends on jQuery,the jQuery UI core,and a jquery.widget module (likely provided by jQuery UI itself).
* libs/jquery/flexslider-2.1: Depends on jQuery.
* libs/dataTables.fixedColumns-3.0.4 and libs/dataTables.fixedHeader-2.1.2: Depend on jQuery and DataTables.
* https://sports.cbsimg.net/js/CBSi/app/VideoPlayer/AdobePass-min.js: This depends on another utility script. This shows that you can even shim external scripts loaded from URLs.
3. map:
This section defines aliases or mappings for modules. it’s used to resolve different module names to the same underlying file.
* *: The asterisk means this mapping applies to all modules.
* "adobe-pass": "https://sports.cbsimg.net/js/CBSi/app/videoplayer/AdobePass-min.js": Anywhere you require("adobe-pass"),it will actually load the specified URL.
