Code

function drupal_build_js_cache($files, $filename) {
  $contents = '';

  // Create the js/ within the files folder.
  $jspath = file_create_path('js');
  file_check_directory($jspath, FILE_CREATE_DIRECTORY);

  if (!file_exists($jspath . '/' . $filename)) {
    // Build aggregate JS file.
    foreach ($files as $path => $info) {
      if ($info['preprocess']) {
        // Append a ';' and a newline after each JS file to prevent them from running together.
        $contents .= file_get_contents($path) . ";\n";
      }
