catching error body using axios post

Full error message

I am sending a status code 422 from my backend code with response body which contains the description of the error. I am using axios post as below to post a request:

post: function(url, reqBody) {
    const request = axios({
        baseURL: config.apiUrl,
        url: url,
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Authorization': sessionStorage.getItem('token')
        },
        method: 'POST',
        data: reqBody,
        responseType: 'json'
    });
    return request
        .then((res) => {
            return res;
        })
        .catch((error) => {
            console.log(error);
            return error;
        })
}

The problem is when backend is returning error code 422, the error object I am catching has no information about response body. Is there any way I can retrieve the error text?

I had this same issue and the answer (as per Axios >= 0.13) is to specifically check error.response.data: axios({ ... }).then((response) => { .... }).catch((error) => { if( error.response ){ console.log(error.response.data); // => the response payload } }); See here for more details.
