How To Return the Response From an Asynchronous Function in JavaScript.js

// We'll query the Rick and Morty API using a GET request:
const URL = "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/character/"
const fetchCharacter = (id) => {
  const httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest()
  // When the request is loaded, call the callback function:
  httpRequest.onload = function () {
    callback(httpRequest.responseText)
  }
  httpRequest.open("GET", `${URL}${id}`)
  httpRequest.send()
}
// A callback function is one passed to another function
function callback(result) {
  const { name, status } = result ? JSON.parse(result) : {}
  console.log(`${name} is ${status}`)
}
const fetchJerry = () => fetchCharacter(5) // Jerry has id 5.
fetchJerry() // Jerry Smith is Alive
