.shallow([options]) => ShallowWrapper

Shallow renders the root node and returns a shallow wrapper around it. It must be a single-node wrapper.

Arguments

1. options (Object [optional]):
   • options.context: (Object [optional]): Context to be passed into the component
   • options.disableLifecycleMethods: (Boolean [optional]): If set to true, componentDidMount is not called on the component, and componentDidUpdate is not called after setProps and setContext. Default to false.

Returns

ShallowWrapper: A new wrapper that wraps the node after it's been shallow rendered.

Examples

function Bar() {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="in-bar" />
    </div>
  );
}

function Foo() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Bar />
    </div>
  );
}

const wrapper = shallow(<Foo />);
expect(wrapper.find('.in-bar')).to.have.lengthOf(0);
expect(wrapper.find(Bar)).to.have.lengthOf(1);
expect(wrapper.find(Bar).shallow().find('.in-bar')).to.have.lengthOf(1);
