Double column transfer choice box.

## When To Use

- It is a select control essentially which can be use for selecting multiple items.
- Transfer can display more information for items and take up more space.

Transfer the elements between two columns in an intuitive and efficient way.

One or more elements can be selected from either column, one click on the proper `direction` button, and the transfer is done. The left column is considered the `source` and the right column is considered the `target`. As you can see in the API description, these names are reflected in.

> notice: Transfer is a controlled component, uncontrolled mode is not supported.

```

## Warning

According the [standard](http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/lists-and-keys.html#keys) of React, the key should always be supplied directly to the elements in the array. In Transfer, the keys should be set on the elements included in `dataSource` array. By default, `key` property is used as an unique identifier.

If there's no `key` in your data, you should use `rowKey` to specify the key that will be used for uniquely identify each element.

```jsx
// eg. your primary key is `uid`
return <Transfer rowKey={(record) => record.uid} />;
```
