I have find a great solution that has been defined by istarkov

const makeCancelable = (promise) => {
  let hasCanceled_ = false;

  const wrappedPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    promise.then((val) =>
      hasCanceled_ ? reject({isCanceled: true}) : resolve(val)
    );
    promise.catch((error) =>
      hasCanceled_ ? reject({isCanceled: true}) : reject(error)
    );
  });

  return {
    promise: wrappedPromise,
    cancel() {
      hasCanceled_ = true;
    },
  };
};

How to use:

const somePromise = new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000));

const cancelable = makeCancelable(somePromise);

cancelable
  .promise
  .then(() => console.log('resolved'))
  .catch(({isCanceled, ...error}) => console.log('isCanceled', isCanceled));

// Cancel promise
cancelable.cancel();

the solution has been found there.

My implementation.

Inside my function

const promiseShareByEmail = makeCancelable(this.props.requestShareByEmail(obj.email, obj.url));

            promiseShareByEmail.promise.then(response => {
                const res = response.data;

                if (res.code != 0)
                    throw new Error(res.message);
                this.setState({
                    message: {
                        text: TextMeasurements.en.common.success_share_test,
                        code: Constants.ALERT_CODE_SUCCESS
                    }
                });
            }).catch(err => {
                if (err.isCanceled)
                    return;

                this.setState({
                    message: {
                        text: err.message,
                        code: Constants.ALERT_CODE_ERROR
                    }
                })
            });

            this.promiseShareByEmail = promiseShareByEmail;

this.props.requestShareByEmail(obj.email, obj.url) that function returns promise from axios.

when component will unmount cancel function should be invoked.

componentWillUnmount() {
        this.promiseShareByEmail.cancel();
    }

enjoy.
