Return axios Promise through Vuex - promise

Question

all!
I need to get axios Promise reject in my vue component using vuex.
I have serviceApi.js file:
export default {
postAddService(service) {
return axios.post('api/services', service);
}
}
my action in vuex:
actions: {
addService(state, service) {
state.commit('setServiceLoadStatus', 1);
ServicesAPI.postAddService(service)
.then( ({data}) => {
state.commit('setServiceLoadStatus', 2);
})
.catch(({response}) => {
state.commit('setServiceLoadStatus', 2);
console.log(response.data.message);
return Promise.reject(response); // <= can't catch this one
});
}
}
and in my vue component:
methods: {
addService() {
this.$store.dispatch('addService', this.service)
.then(() => {
this.forceLeave = true;
this.$router.push({name: 'services'});
this.$store.dispatch('snackbar/fire', {
text: 'New Service has been added',
color: 'success'
}).then()
})
.catch((err) => { // <== This never hapens
this.$store.dispatch('snackbar/fire', {
text: err.response.data.message || err.response.data.error,
color: 'error'
}).then();
});
}
When i use axios directly in my component all work well. I get both success and error messages.
But when i work using vuex i can't get error message in component, hoever in vuex action console.log prints what i need.
I'm always getting only successfull messages, even when bad things hapen on beckend.
How can i handle this situation using vuex ?

Wellcome to stackoverflow. One should not want to expect anything back from an action. After calling an action. Any response should be set/saved in the state via mutations. So rather have an error property on your state. Something like this should work
actions: {
async addService(state, service) {
try {
state.commit('setServiceLoadStatus', 1);
const result = await ServicesAPI.postAddService(service);
state.commit('setServiceLoadStatus', 2);
} catch (error) {
state.commit("error", "Could not add service");
state.commit('setServiceLoadStatus', 2);
console.log(response.data.message);
}
}
}
And in your component you can just have an alert that listens on your state.error
Edit: Only time you are going expect something back from an action is if you want to call other actions synchronously using async /await. In that case the result would be a Promise.
