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 aliases for JavaScript libraries and modules. It maps short, convenient names to the actual file paths of those libraries. This makes your code cleaner and easier to maintain.
* custom: 2.6.2 – Likely a custom JavaScript file or module.
* 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 in a table.
* 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. Waypoints is a library for triggering a function when scrolling to a specific element. The modules included are:
* infinite: For infinite scrolling.
* inview: For checking if an element is in the viewport.
* jquery.waypoints: The core waypoints library.
* sticky: For creating sticky elements (elements that stay fixed to the top of the screen as you scroll).
* libs/jquery/...: A large collection of jQuery plugins. These provide various functionalities:
* dotdotdot: Truncates text wiht an ellipsis.
* flexslider: A responsive slider.
* lazyload: Loads images only when they are visible in the viewport.
* maskedinput: Formats input fields (e.g., phone numbers, credit card numbers).

* placeholder: Adds placeholder text to input fields (for older browsers).

* tablesorter: A table sorting plugin.
* touchswipe: Adds touch event support.
* libs/jquery/ui/...: A collection of jQuery UI widgets. jQuery UI provides a set of pre-built UI components. These include:
* core: The core jQuery UI functionality.
* draggable: Makes elements draggable.
* mouse: Handles mouse interactions.
* position: Calculates element positions.
* slider: Creates a slider control.
* sortable: Makes lists sortable.

* resizable: Makes elements resizable.
* button: Creates custom buttons.
* tooltip: Adds tooltips.
* effects: Provides visual effects.
* datepicker: Creates a date picker.
2. shim:
This section defines dependencies for modules that don’t explicitly declare them using RequireJS’s standard module definition format (AMD). It’s used to tell RequireJS what other modules a particular module relies on.
* liveconnection/managers/connection: Depends on liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4.
* liveconnection/libs/sockjs-0.3.4: Exports a global variable named SockJS.
