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. For example:
* ".custom": "2.6.2": Means that when your code does require(".custom"), the loader will look for a file named 2.6.2 (likely a JavaScript file) in the base URL (wich is usually defined elsewhere in the RequireJS configuration).
* "libs/velocity": "1.2.2": require("libs/velocity") will load 1.2.2.
* "libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker": "1.11.4": require("libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker") will load 1.11.4.
* libs: A common convention is to group third-party libraries under a libs directory.You see a lot of jQuery UI components, DataTables, and other utilities here.
* fly: Another directory, likely containing custom or framework-specific code.
Key Observations about paths:
* Version Numbers: The paths often include version numbers (e.g., “1.2.2”, “1.11.4”). This is good practice for dependency management. It helps ensure that you’re using the correct versions of libraries and avoids conflicts.
* Directory Structure: The paths reflect a directory structure. For example, libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker suggests a file structure like: libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.datepicker.js (or perhaps a minified version like .min.js).
* External URLs: The map section (explained later) includes external URLs like https://sports.cbsimg.net/js/CBSi/app/VideoPlayer/AdobePass-min.js. This means the loader can fetch modules directly from a CDN or other web server.
2. shim:
This section is crucial for dealing with libraries that don’t follow the standard AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) format that RequireJS expects. Many older or simpler libraries are just global scripts that define variables in the global scope (usually window). shim tells RequireJS how to load these libraries and make them available as modules.
* liveconnection/managers/connection: This module depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4. It tells RequireJS to load sockjs-0.3.4 before liveconnection/managers/connection and that sockjs-0.3.4 exports a global variable named SockJS.
* libs/backbone.marionette: This module depends on jQuery, Underscore, and Backbone. It exports a global variable named Marionette.
* libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4: Depends on jQuery, jQuery UI core, and fly/libs/jquery.widget.
* libs/jquery/flexslider-2.1: depends on jQuery.
Key Observations about shim:
* deps: an array of module names that must be loaded before the current module. These are dependencies.
* exports: The name of the global variable that the library defines. RequireJS will attach this global variable to the module definition, making it accessible when you require() the module.
* version!: The version! prefix is a custom plugin (likely defined elsewhere) that might be used to handle versioning or specific loading behavior.
