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 JavaScript files. These can be relative paths (relative to the location of the 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 base URL of the submission.
* 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 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: 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 libraries often rely on global variables or have specific load order requirements. shim tells RequireJS how to handle these dependencies.
* Key: The module name (as it would be used in a require() call).
* Value: An object with the following properties:
* deps: An array of module names that this module depends on. RequireJS will ensure these dependencies are loaded before loading the shimmed module.
* exports: The name of the global variable that the module exposes. This allows RequireJS to make the module’s functionality available as a defined module.
Examples:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4. This means the SockJS library must be loaded first.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: Depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone. It exports Marionette as the module’s value.
* 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 name mappings. It’s used to resolve aliases or to handle different versions of the same module.
* *: This means the mapping applies to all modules.
* adobe-pass: Maps the logical name adobe-pass to the URL https://sports.cbsimg.net/js/CBSi/app/VideoPlayer/AdobePass-min.js.
* facebook: Maps the logical name facebook to the Facebook SDK URL.
* facebook-debug: Maps the logical name `
