## Warning

According the [standard](http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/multiple-components.html#dynamic-children) 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} />;
```
