This is a configuration file, likely for a JavaScript module loader like RequireJS. LetS 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 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 at version 2.6.2.
* 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. this shows the project heavily relies on jQuery and it’s 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/...: Many components from the jQuery UI library (autocomplete, accordion, tabs, dialog, 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/js/CBSi/app/VideoPlayer/AdobePass-min.js: A direct URL to a script, likely for Adobe Pass authentication for video playback.
* facebook: “https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js”: The Facebook JavaScript SDK.
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 _).shim tells RequireJS how to handle these.
* Key: The logical module name (the name you’ll use in require()).
* deps: An array of dependencies that the module relies on. RequireJS will make sure these dependencies are loaded before loading the shimmed module. For example:
* "fly/libs/backbone-1.0.0": {"deps":["version!fly/libs/underscore","jquery"],"exports":"Backbone"} means Backbone.js depends on Underscore.js and jQuery.
* exports: If the module creates a global variable, this specifies the name of that variable. RequireJS will then make that variable available as the module’s export. For example:
* "fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1": {"exports":"_"} means Underscore.js creates a global variable named _, and RequireJS will make that available as the module’s export.
Important Shim Examples:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: This module depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4, and sockjs-0.3.4 exports a global variable named SockJS.
* jQuery UI Tabs: `”libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4
