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 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 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 scrollbar functionality.
* tablesorter: Sorting tables.
* touchswipe: Adding touch event support.
* jquery.ui.*: A comprehensive set of UI widgets from jQuery UI (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 dialog.
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., attaching themselves to the window object). shim tells RequireJS how to handle these.
* 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 module needs.RequireJS will load these dependencies before loading the shimmed module.
* exports: The name of the global variable that the module creates. This allows RequireJS to make the module available as a proper module.
Examples from shim:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4 and will expose SockJS as the module.
* libs/backbone.marionette: Depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone
