Fetch Request response.json() returns undefined

I want to fetch a get request to my spring boot server, and i get my json back, but when i want to return it, there is an undefined error. I am new to Javascript, so the answer is probably obvious, but i cant find it!

Sry for bad english and thanks in regards!

Code:

function httpGet(theUrl)
{
    fetch(theUrl,
    {
        method: "GET",
      headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    })
    .then (response => response.json())
    .then(response => {
        console.log(response); // Logs the json array
        return response; // Returns undefined
    });
}

Edit with async, still does not work: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch

async function httpGet(theUrl)
{
    const response = await fetch(theUrl,
    {
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    });
    const jsonResponse = await response.json()
    .then(data => {
        return data;
    });
}

This is my react component function:

 function Admin(){
    const data =  httpGet('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users'); // Not Working
    console.log(data);  
    return(
        <div>
            <h1> Admin Page</h1>
        </div>
    )
}

function httpGet(theUrl) {
  return fetch(theUrl, {
      method: "GET",
      headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    })
    .then(response => response.json());
}


(async() => {
  const response = await httpGet('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
  console.log(response);
})();

You can do this with async and await which makes easy to write and understand the code.

Here is the sample, that you can use.

const httpGet = async (theUrl) => {
  const response = await fetch(theUrl, {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
      Accept: "application/json",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
  });
  return response.json();
};

// calling the method

(async () => {
  const data = await httpGet("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1")
  console.log("response data is: ", data)
})()
