Six Pack College Football Picks: Week 9 SEC Showdowns
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 yoru 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 paths:
* .custom: 2.6.2 – A custom module,likely a core part of the request.
* libs/velocity: 1.2.2 – The Velocity.js animation library.
* libs/dataTables: 1.10.6 – The DataTables JavaScript library for creating interactive tables.
* libs/dataTables.fixedColumns: 3.0.4 – A DataTables extension for fixing columns.
* libs/dataTables.fixedHeader: 2.1.2 – A DataTables extension for fixing the table header.
* libs/dateformat: 1.0.3 – A library for formatting dates.
* libs/waypoints/...: A collection of Waypoints.js modules for triggering functions as you scroll down the page.
* libs/jquery/...: A large number of jQuery plugins.These provide various functionalities like:
* dotdotdot: Truncating text with an ellipsis.
* flexslider: A responsive slider.
* lazyload: Loading images only when they are visible in the viewport.
* maskedinput: formatting input fields (e.g., phone numbers).
* marquee: Creating scrolling text.
* numberformatter: Formatting numbers.
* placeholder: Adding placeholder text to input fields.
* scrollbar: Custom scrollbars.
* tablesorter: Sorting tables.
* touchswipe: Adding touch event support.
* libs/jquery/ui/...: A thorough set of jQuery UI widgets (autocomplete, accordion, tabs, dialog, 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 frequently enough rely on global variables or have dependencies that need to be loaded in a specific order.
* Key: The name of the module (as used in require()).
* 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 current module.
* exports: The name of the global variable that this module creates. RequireJS will make this global variable available as the return value of the require() call.
Examples from shim:
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4. This means SockJS needs to be loaded first.
* fly/libs/backbone.marionette: depends on jquery, fly/libs/underscore, and fly/libs/backbone. It exports Marionette as a global variable.
* libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.tabs-1.11.4: Depends on jquery,libs/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core, and `fly/libs/jquery.
