NFL Anytime TD Best Bets: Week 13 Picks – Brenton Strange
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.
Key Observations about paths:
* jQuery UI: A large number of entries are for jQuery UI widgets (e.g., jquery.ui.core, jquery.ui.draggable, jquery.ui.datepicker).This indicates the request heavily relies on jQuery UI for its user interface.
* jQuery Plugins: Many entries under libs/jquery are for jQuery plugins (e.g., dotdotdot, flexslider, lazyload, marquee). This confirms jQuery is a core dependency.
* DataTables: Includes DataTables and its extensions (fixedColumns, fixedHeader). Suggests the application displays and manipulates data in tables.
* Waypoints: Includes Waypoints library and its extensions (infinite, inview, sticky). Suggests the application uses scroll-based animations or effects.
* Custom Code: fly directory contains custom code, including Underscore.js and Backbone.js.
* Live Connection: liveconnection suggests a real-time communication component,likely using SockJS.
* Versioned Paths: Some paths include version numbers (e.g., fly/libs/underscore-1.5.1). This is good practice for managing dependencies and avoiding conflicts.
2. config:
This section contains configuration settings for specific modules.
* shim: This is crucial for loading modules that don’t follow the standard AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) format, which is what RequireJS expects. The shim configuration tells RequireJS how to load these modules and their dependencies.
* Key: The module name (the logical name used in require()).
* deps: An array of dependencies that the module requires. RequireJS will load these dependencies before loading the module itself.
* exports: If the module exposes a global variable (e.g., attaches something to the window object), you specify that variable name here. This allows RequireJS to make that global variable available as a module.
Key Observations about shim:
* SockJS: liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4 is shimmed to expose SockJS globally.
* Backbone.js and Underscore.js: Backbone.js depends on Underscore.js and jQuery, and the shim configuration ensures they are loaded in the correct order.
* jQuery UI Tabs: libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4 depends on jquery, jquery.ui.core, and fly/libs/jquery.widget.
* jQuery Flexslider: libs/jquery/flexslider-2.1 depends on jquery.
* DataTables Extensions: libs/dataTables.fixedColumns-3.0.4 and libs/dataTables.fixedHeader-2.1.2 depend on jQuery and DataTables.
3. map:
This section defines aliases or mappings for modules.
* *: The asterisk means these mappings apply to all module names.
* adobe-pass: Maps the logical name adobe-pass to a specific URL for Adobe Pass integration.
* facebook and facebook-debug: Maps the logical
