How to Hide Your Custom JS Files in Drupal

Drupal is a free, open-source content management system that is written primarily in PHP and can be customized by adding dynamic JavaScript, or JS, files. If the JS file contains proprietary code that you don’t want exposed over the Internet to outside users, you can hide your file. To hide the JS file in Drupal, the file must be placed in a folder outside of the Web directory.
