'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'then')' on API request

Question

My page brake when i make an request to an API, i receive the contents and it prints on the console.

function getFilms() {
  fetch('https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/films')
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => {
      console.log(data);
      return data;
    });
}
export default getFilms;

I've tried to use a implicit return and return outside of the '.them' without success.

Answer 1

I was receiving undefined because the the caller didn't received the return of the API. Solved by returing the fetch.

 function getFilms() { return fetch('https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/films').then((response) => response.json()).then((data) => { console.log(data); }); } export default getFilms;
