 For example, Jest ships with several plug-ins to `jasmine` that work by monkey-patching the jasmine API. If you wanted to add even more jasmine plugins to the mix (or if you wanted some custom, project-wide matchers for example), you could do so in this module.
 
+### `snapshotSerializers` [array<string>]
+(default: `[]`)
+
+A list of paths to snapshot serializer modules Jest should use for snapshot
+testing.
+
+Jest has default serializers for built-in javascript types and for react
+elements. See [snapshot test tutorial](/jest/docs/tutorial-react-native.html#snapshot-test) for more information.
+
+Example serializer module:
+
+```js
+// my-serializer-module
+module.exports = {
+  test: function(val) {
+    return val && val.hasOwnProperty('foo');
+  },
+  print: function(val, serialize, indent) {
+    return 'Pretty foo: ' + serialize(val.foo);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+`serialize` is a function that serializes a value using existing plugins.
+
+To use `my-serializer-module` as a serializer, configuration would be as
+follows:
+
+```json
+{
+  "json": {
+    "snapshotSerializers": ["<rootDir>/node_modules/my-serializer-module"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Finally tests would look as follows:
+
+```js
+test(() => {
+  const bar = {
+    foo: {x: 1, y: 2}
+  };
+
+  expect(foo).toMatchSnapshot();
+});
+```
+
+Rendered snapshot:
+
+```
+Pretty foo: Object {
+  "x": 1,
+  "y": 2,
+}
+```
+
 ### `testEnvironment` [string]
 (default: `'jsdom'`)
