axiosTest() is firing asynchronously and not being waited for.

A then() function needs to be hooked up afterwards in order to capture the response variable (axiosTestData).

See Promise for more info.

See Async to level up.

// Dummy Url.
const url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1'

// Axios Test.
const axiosTest = axios.get

// Axios Test Data.
axiosTest(url).then(function(axiosTestResult) {
  console.log('response.JSON:', {
    message: 'Request received',
    data: axiosTestResult.data
  })
})
