How to retrieve axios data from the promise

Question

I am currently trying to query my backend using axios and to that specific address I am sending with res.json an object and I am also able to see it with postaman. But when trying to build a function to retrieve it, my object looks like:Promise {pending}. How can i refactor my function ?

   isAuthenticated = () => {
        return axios.get('https://myaddress/authenticate')
            .then(function (response) {
                return response.data
            })
    };

Answer 1

You need to call the promise like so:

isAuthenticated().then(result => console.log(result))
.catch(error => console.log(error));

Answer 2

Use This code and let me know if still, you face a problem.

const isAuthenticated = () => { 
        return axios.get('https://myaddress/authenticate').then(response => {
            // returning the data here allows the caller to get it through another .then(...)
            return response.data
          }).catch(error => console.log(error));
     };

     isAuthenticated().then(data => {
        response.json({ message: 'Request received!', data })
      })
