javascript - Return callback value outside callback function (ajax)

Question

I am trying return callback value outside callback function example:

I make the function based in topic: How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?

(function (){

    return getAjaxResult(function(result) { return result; }); 
     //<-- Return Undefined (in console log return correct value)
})();

function getAjaxResult(callback){
    $.ajax({
       url: 'myurl',
       type: 'GET',
        success: function (result) 
        {
           if (result === 'working'){
                callback(result);
          }else if (result === 'notworking'){
                callback('notworking');
          }
        }
      })
 }

Return "Undefined" (in console log return correct value).

I do not know if this is the best option to return an ajax value in callback

There are two ways to do this, you can use async false but is deprecated and you can always use a promise:

do a function like this:

function ajaxCallback(id){
  return   $.ajax({
    method: "POST",
    url: "../YourUrl",
    data: {  id: id}
  })
}

then call it like this:

if (id != '')//
{
    ajaxCallback(id)
               .done(function( response ) {
                               //do something with your response
                            });
}

Hope it helps
