Becasuse Virto Commerce Admin Portal SPA built admin UI from modules, SPA uses custom routing to access resources from platform and modules.

$(module.id) - is reserwed keyword which is used to map it to correct module folder on the server side.

So, the $(Platform) means routing to resourse from platform\wwwroot\ folder.

The code which are handled all requests like a $(Platform) and Modules/$({ module.ModuleName }) as static files in correspond folder here:

github.com

VirtoCommerce/vc-platform/blob/dev/src/VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web/Startup.cs#L478-L493

      
        
            //Handle all requests like a $(Platform) and Modules/$({ module.ModuleName }) as static files in correspond folder
            app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
            {
                FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(WebHostEnvironment.MapPath("~/js")),
                RequestPath = new PathString($"/$(Platform)/Scripts")
            });
            
            
var localModules = app.ApplicationServices.GetRequiredService<ILocalModuleCatalog>().Modules;
            foreach (var module in localModules.OfType<ManifestModuleInfo>())
            {
                app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
                {
                    FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(module.FullPhysicalPath),
                    RequestPath = new PathString($"/modules/$({ module.ModuleName })")
                });
            }
