 ## 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 components in the array. In Transfer, the keys should be set for `dataSource`. `dataSource` use each record's `key` as the default unique flag.

-If there's no `key` in your data, you should use `rowKey` to specify the primary key.
