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. 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 application.
* 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: Truncating text with an ellipsis.
* flexslider: A responsive slider.
* lazyload: Loading images only when they are visible in the viewport.
* maskedinput: Formatting input fields (e.g., phone numbers).
* marquee: Creating scrolling text.
* numberformatter: Formatting numbers.
* placeholder: Adding placeholder text to input fields.
* scrollbar: Custom scrollbars.
* tablesorter: Sorting tables.
* touchswipe: Adding touch event support.
* libs/jquery/ui/...: A thorough 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 interaction in older browsers.
* 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 libraries (like jQuery plugins) are loaded synchronously and rely on global variables. shim tells RequireJS how to handle these dependencies.
* Key: The module name (as used in require()).
* deps: An array of dependencies that the module relies on. RequireJS will ensure these dependencies are loaded before the shimmed module.
* exports: If the module exposes a global variable, this specifies the name of that variable.RequireJS will make this variable available as the return value of the require() call.
Examples from shim:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: Depends on jquery, `fly
