 #### `ReactComponent React.addons.cloneWithProps(ReactComponent component, object? extraProps)`
 
 Do a shallow copy of `component` and merge any props provided by `extraProps`. Props are merged in the same manner as [`transferPropsTo()`](/react/docs/component-api.html#transferpropsto), so props like `className` will be merged intelligently.
