Return Promise from Axios?

Question

I am wondering how do I return a promise form Axios? I am not sure if I need to use an Interceptors?

I have this code right now

export function fetchStorage() {
    return function (dispatch) {
      return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        if (1 === 1) {
          resolve('it works!');
        } else {
          reject(':(');
        }
      });
    };
}

and

this.props.fetchStorage().then(function() {
           console.log('then');
        });

Now say I want to change the fetchStorage to do something via ajax and I would have it like

 var instance = axios.create({
            baseURL: 'http://localhost:54690/api',
            timeout: 2000,

        });

        instance.get('/Storage/Get')
            .then(function (response) {
                console.log(response);
            })
            .catch(function (error) {
                console.log(error);
            });

how do I return the promise instead of doing it here?

Edit

Just for clarification why I am doing this I have something like this

  componentWillMount() {
        this.props.setPreLoader(true);
        this.props.fetchStorage().then(function() {
           this.props.setPreLoader(false);
        });
    }

export function fetchStorage() {
    return function (dispatch) {
        return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            axiosInstant.get('/Storage/Get')
                .then(function (response) {
                    let payload = response.data;
                    console.log(payload);
                    dispatch({ type: actions.FETCH_STORAGE, payload: { storages: payload } });
                })
                .catch(function (error) {
                    console.log(error);
                });
        });
    };
}

Solution

Axios is promise based, so you don't need to wrap it in Promise, you can do something like this, and axiosInstance.[post|put|get| end etc.] methods will return promise.

export function fetchStorage() {
    return function (dispatch) {
       return axiosInstant.get('/Storage/Get')
                .then(function (response) {
                    let payload = response.data;
                    console.log(payload);
                    dispatch({ type: actions.FETCH_STORAGE, payload: { storages: payload } });
                })
                .catch(function (error) {
                    console.log(error);
                });
    };
}

Ah, thought maybe it had it's own returning for a promise and I did not need to wrap it.

@chobo2 certainly looks like it returns a promise. or, at least a thennable.
