Michigan State Hires Pat Fitzgerald After Jonathan Smith Firing

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 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 collection⁢ of jQuery plugins. This shows the project heavily relies on jQuery and its ecosystem. Examples include:
‍ * libs/jquery/dotdotdot: A plugin for truncating text with an ellipsis.
*⁢ libs/jquery/flexslider: A responsive slider plugin.
* libs/jquery/lazyload:⁢ A ⁤plugin for lazy-loading images.
⁤ * ⁢ libs/jquery/ui/...: A thorough set of jQuery UI widgets (autocomplete, accordion, tabs, dialog, etc.). all versions⁢ are ‍1.11.4.
* libs/waypoints: A set of Waypoints plugins for triggering functions as you scroll down the page.
* 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 are typically ⁢older ⁣libraries that were written before AMD was common.shim tells RequireJS how to load these libraries and their dependencies.

* 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 need to be loaded before ‍ this module.These are also logical‍ module names.
* exports: The name ⁢of‍ the global variable that this⁤ module⁤ creates. This ⁢allows RequireJS to make the module’s functionality ⁤available as a module.

Examples:

*⁢ liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: Depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone. It exports Marionette.
*⁤ ⁤ 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 aliases and versioning. It’s used to‍ resolve module⁤ names to specific versions or option paths.

* ⁢ *: This means⁢ the mapping applies to all modules.
* adobe-pass: Maps to ⁤a specific⁢ URL⁤ for the Adobe ⁢Pass JavaScript library.
* facebook: Maps to the Facebook SDK ⁢URL.
* facebook-debug: Maps to the Facebook SDK ⁤URL for debugging.
