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) adn 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. Such as, 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 paths:
.custom: 2.6.2 – A custom module, likely a core part of the request.
libs/velocity: 1.2.2 – The Velocity.js animation library.
libs/dataTables: 1.10.6 - The DataTables JavaScript library for creating interactive tables.
libs/dataTables.fixedColumns: 3.0.4 – A DataTables extension for fixing columns.
libs/dataTables.fixedHeader: 2.1.2 – A DataTables extension for fixing the table header.
libs/dateformat: 1.0.3 - A library for formatting dates. libs/waypoints/...: A collection of Waypoints.js modules for triggering functions as you scroll down the page.
libs/jquery/...: A large number of jQuery plugins. These provide various functionalities like:
dotdotdot: Truncates text with an ellipsis.
flexslider: A responsive slider.
lazyload: Loads images only when they are visible in the viewport.
maskedinput: Formats input fields (e.g., phone numbers).
marquee: Creates a scrolling text effect.
numberformatter: Formats numbers.
placeholder: Adds placeholder text to input fields. scrollbar: Custom scrollbar functionality. tablesorter: Sorts tables.
touchswipe: Adds touch event support.
libs/jquery/ui/...: A extensive set of jQuery UI widgets (autocomplete, accordion, tabs, dialog, etc.).
fly/libs/jquery.mobile-1.3.2: jQuery Mobile library.
fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1: Underscore.js utility library.
fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0: Backbone.js framework.
liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4: SockJS library for enabling WebSocket-like dialogue.
https://sports.cbsimg.net/...: External JavaScript files hosted on a CBS Sports domain. These are likely related to video player functionality.
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 or simpler libraries are loaded directly into the global namespace (e.g., creating global variables like jQuery or Backbone). shim tells RequireJS how to handle these libraries.
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 the library requires. RequireJS will load these dependencies before loading the shimmed library. For example, fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0 depends on version!fly/libs/underscore and jquery.
exports: The name of the global variable that the library creates. This tells RequireJS how to make the library available as a module.Such as, `fly/libs
