 When using React context providers, like Redux Provider, you'll likely want to wrap rendered component with them. In such cases it's convenient to create your custom `render` method. [Follow this great guide on how to set this up](https://github.com/kentcdodds/react-testing-library#custom-render).
 
+### `toJSON: () => ?ReactTestRendererJSON`

+Get the rendered component JSON representation, e.g. for snapshot testing.

 ## `shallow`
 
 Shallowly render given React component. Since it doesn't return helpers to query the output, it's mostly advised to used for snapshot testing (short snapshots are best for code reviewers).
