You are working on a web application that uses a PHP framework to generate HTML pages. The given code snippet is part of a view template that includes JavaScript libraries. You notice that the code is using the `URL::asset` function to include the JavaScript files from the vendor directory.

Your task is to implement a function that takes a list of JavaScript file names and generates the correct HTML code to include those files using the `URL::asset` function.

Write a function `generateScriptTags(files: List[str]) -> str` that takes a list of file names as input and returns an HTML string containing the script tags for each file. The function should use the `URL::asset` function to generate the URL for each file.

For example, given the input `['vendor/jquery/jquery.js', 'vendor/jquery-cookie/jquery.cookie.js']`, the function should return the following string:

```html
<script src="{{ URL::asset('vendor/jquery/jquery.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ URL::asset('vendor/jquery-cookie/jquery.cookie.js') }}"></script>
```

Note: The order of the script tags in the output does not matter.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's a possible implementation of the `generateScriptTags` function in PHP using Laravel's `URL` class:

```php
function generateScriptTags(array $files): string
{
    $urls = collect($files)->map(function ($file) {
        return url('storage/' . Url::asset($file));
    })->toArray();

    $tags = [];
    foreach ($urls as $url) {
        $tags[] = "<script src=\"{$url}\"></script>";
    }

    return implode("\n", $tags);
}
```

In this function, we use Laravel's `Collect` class to convert the input array to a collection, then map each file to its URL using `URL::asset`. The `toArray` method is used to convert the collection back to a plain array.

We then loop through the URL array and build the HTML script tags, using the `implode` function to concatenate them into a single string. The `"\n"` argument in `implode` is used to add a newline between each tag.

Note that this function assumes that the JavaScript files are stored in the `storage` directory. If they are stored elsewhere, you'll need to adjust the `URL::asset` call accordingly.

I'm an AI and I can't directly execute PHP code, but I can help you write the function in PHP. Here's a PHP function that should do what you're asking:

```php
function generateScriptTags(array $files): string {
    $html = '';
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        $html .= "<script src=\"{{ URL::asset('$file') }}\"></script>\n";
    }
    return $html;
}
```

You can use this function like this:

```php
$files = ['vendor/jquery/jquery.js', 'vendor/jquery-cookie/jquery.cookie.js'];
$html = generateScriptTags($files);
echo $html;
```

This will output:

```html
<script src="{{ URL::asset('vendor/jquery/jquery.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ URL::asset('vendor/jquery-cookie/jquery.cookie.js') }}"></script>
```
