What is the usage of layui.config in layui?

In layui, layui.config() is the method used to configure the module paths for layui.

layui organizes code in a modular way, with each module corresponding to a separate file. By using layui.config(), you can specify the path of a module, allowing you to directly use the module’s alias when importing it.

Here is the method of use:

Configure layui with the base path for modules, and then extend it with the module alias and file mapping.

In the above example, we set the base path of the module to ‘js/’, indicating that all module files are located in the directory js/. Then, we specify the alias of the modules and the corresponding relationship of the module files using the extend() method. For example, setting the alias of module1 as ‘module1’ means that you can directly use ‘module1’ as the alias when importing the module.

When importing relevant modules on the page, you can directly use the alias of the module, for example:

Using the module1 module from the layui library.

You can import specific modules using the layui.use() method by passing the module’s alias as a parameter. Then, you can perform related operations on the module within the callback function.

In summary, layui.config() is used to configure the module paths in layui, allowing for the use of module aliases when importing modules.
