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 where 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 actual JavaScript files. These can be relative paths (relative to the location of this 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 location of this config file.
* 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 project heavily relies on jQuery and its extensions. 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.) with version 1.11.4.
* libs/waypoints: A set of Waypoints.js modules 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 libraries that don’t follow the standard asynchronous module definition (AMD) format that RequireJS expects. These are typically older libraries that were written before AMD was common. The shim configuration tells RequireJS how to load these libraries and their dependencies.
* Key: The logical module name (the name you’ll use in require()).
* Value: An object with the following properties:
* deps: An array of dependencies that need to be loaded before this module. These are also logical module names defined in the paths section.
* exports: The name of the global variable that this module creates. This is how RequireJS makes the module’s functionality available to other modules. For example, exports: "Marionette" means that the backbone.marionette library puts its functionality into a global variable called Marionette.
Here are some examples:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4 and exports nothing.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: Depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone, and exports Marionette.
* 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.
