Why my function doesn't return true? it returns undefined

Question

Here is my code:

const generateJson = () => {
    var url = "https://api.insee.fr/entreprises/sirene/V3/siret/32773318400516";
    const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('GET', url);
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer 54cb0781-a0ea-3d5b-9e81-f18ac252dfa4");
    xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
        if (xhr.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
            console.log(xhr.status);
            console.log(xhr.response);
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
    xhr.send();
}
console.log(typeof(generateJson()));

here is a part of my output:

undefined
200
{"header":{"statut":200,"message":"ok"},"etablissement":{"siren":"327733184","nic":"00516","siret":"32773318400516","statutDiffusionEtablissement":"O","dateCreationEtablissement":"2009-06-26","trancheEffectifsEtablissement":"42","anneeEffectifsEtablissement":"2019","activitePrincipaleRegistreMetiersEtablissement":null,"dateDernierTraitementEtablissement":"2021-10-27T08:26:07","etablissementSiege":true,"nombrePeriodesEtablissement":2,"uniteLegale":{"etatAdministratifUniteLegale":"A","statutDiffusionUniteLegale":"O","dateCreationUniteLegale":"1983-04-01","categorieJuridiqueUniteLegale":"5710","denominationUniteLegale":"MICROSOFT FRANCE"

What is the solution please?

`generateJson()` doesn't have a `return` statement – ProDec Nov 13 '21 at 11:04 — ProDec, Nov 13 '21 at 11:04
you can `return true;` after `xhr.send();` – DevZer0 Nov 13 '21 at 11:09 — DevZer0, Nov 13 '21 at 11:09
ok thanks, I understand where is mys biggest mistake – geekdu972 Nov 13 '21 at 11:18 — geekdu972, Nov 13 '21 at 11:18
