alloy.js 

you can declare you global variables, collections and functions in this file.

Example:

Alloy.Globals.someGlobalFunction = function(){};

config.json

Alloy uses the config.json file, located in the project's app directory, to specify global values, conditional environment and platform values, and widget dependencies. The configuration file contains the following objects:

Object	Description
global	Contains key-value pairs present for all environments and platforms.
env:development	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for development, running in either the simulator or emulator.
env:test	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for testing on a device.
env:production	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for production, running after a package installation.
os:android	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for Android.
os:blackberry	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for BlackBerry.
os:ios	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for iOS.
os:mobileweb	Contains key-value pairs present for targets built for Mobile Web.
dependencies	Contains key-value pairs for widget dependencies, where the key is the widget name and the value is the version number of the widget.

When mixed together, 'os' values override 'env' values, which override 'global' values. These values are accessible during runtime by prefixing the key withAlloy.CFG.
