# `.props() => Object`

Returns the props hash for the root node of the wrapper. `.props()` can only be
called on a wrapper of a single node.

NOTE: When called on a shallow wrapper, `.props()` will return values for
props on the root node that the component *renders*, not the component itself.
To return the props for the entire React component, use `wrapper.instance().props`.
See [`.instance() => ReactComponent`](instance.md)


#### Example


```jsx
const MyComponent = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
        <div className="foo bar" includedProp={this.props.includedProp}>Hello</div>
    )
  }
})
const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent includedProp="Success!" excludedProp="I'm not included" />);
expect(wrapper.props().includedProp).to.equal("Success!");

// Warning: .props() only returns props that are passed to the root node,
// which does not include excludedProp in this example.
// See the note above about wrapper.instance().props.

wrapper.props();
// {children: "Hello", className: "foo bar", includedProp="Success!"}

wrapper.instance().props;
// {children: "Hello", className: "foo bar", includedProp:"Success!", excludedProp: "I'm not included"}

```
