Eagles Super Bowl Repeat Failure: 5 Reasons Why
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 absolute 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 base URL of the application.
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 wiht a specific version. This indicates the application heavily relies on jQuery and its extensions. Examples include:
dotdotdot: A plugin for truncating text with an ellipsis.
flexslider: A responsive slider plugin.
lazyload: A plugin for lazy-loading images.
ui/: A collection of jQuery UI widgets (autocomplete, accordion, tabs, etc.).
fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1: Underscore.js, a utility library.
fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0: Backbone.js, a JavaScript framework.
https://sports.cbsimg.net/...: external JavaScript files hosted on a CBS Sports domain. This suggests the application integrates with CBS Sports services, potentially for video playback (Adobe Pass) or other features.
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 SockJS). The shim configuration 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. Dependencies are also specified by their logical module names.
exports: the name of the global variable that the library creates. This tells RequireJS how to make the library’s functionality available as a module. Such as, exports: "SockJS" means that the SockJS global variable will be returned when you require('liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4').
Here are some examples:
liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4. This means the connection manager requires the SockJS library to function.
fly/libs/backbone.marionette: depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone. Marionette is a Backbone.js extension and requires those libraries.
* libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4: Depends on jquery, libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core, and fly/libs/jquery.widget. This shows the hierarchical dependency structure within jQuery
