Test-driving callback props
In this section, we’ll introduce a new extension function, propsOf, that reaches into a mocked child component and returns the props that were passed to it. We’ll use this to get hold of the onSave callback prop value and invoke it from our test, mimicking what would happen if the real CustomerForm had been submitted.
