          <div id="transfer-basic" class="transfer"></div>
        
        
    
        
            
        const transferEl = document.getElementById('transfer-basic');

        const data1 = [
          { data: 'Lorem ipsum' },
          { data: 'Something special' },
          { data: 'John Wick' },
          { data: 'Poland' },
          { data: 'Germany' },
          { data: 'USA' },
          { data: 'China' },
          { data: 'Madagascar' },
          { data: 'Argentina' },
        ];

        const instanceTransfer = new Transfer(transferEl, {
          dataSource: data1,
        });

Disabled items

To make some of elements unable to select just add 'disabled: true' property to proper item.

          <div id="transfer-disabled" class="transfer"></div>
        
        
    
        
            
              const transferEl = document.getElementById('transfer-disabled');
              const data1 = [
              { data: 'Lorem ipsum' },
              { data: 'Something special', disabled: true },
              { data: 'John Wick' disabled: true },
              { data: 'Poland' },
              { data: 'Germany' },
              { data: 'USA' },
              { data: 'China' },
              { data: 'Madagascar', disabled: true },
              { data: 'Argentina' },
            ];

            const data2 = [
              { data: 'Russia', disabled: true },
              { data: 'Australia' },
              { data: 'Hungary', disabled: true },
              { data: 'France' },
            ];

            const instanceTransfer = new Transfer(transferEl, {
              dataSource: data1,
              dataTarget: data2,
            });

Checked items

By adding property 'checked: true' to item during initialization you can make element mark.

          <div id="transfer-checked" class="transfer"></div>
        
        
    
        
            
              const transferEl = document.getElementById('transfer-checked');
              const data1 = [
              { data: 'Lorem ipsum', checked: true },
              { data: 'Something special', checked: true },
              { data: 'John Wick', checked: true },
              { data: 'Poland' },
              { data: 'Germany' },
              { data: 'USA', checked: true },
              { data: 'China' },
              { data: 'Madagascar' },
              { data: 'Argentina' },
            ];

            const data2 = [
              { data: 'Russia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Australia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Hungary' },
              { data: 'France' },
            ];

            const instanceTransfer = new Transfer(transferEl, {
              dataSource: data1,
              dataTarget: data2,
            });

One way

By adding 'oneWay: true' property you can set your component to transfer data only to target table.

          <div id="transfer-one-way" class="transfer"></div>
        
        
    
        
            
              const transferEl = document.getElementById('transfer-one-way');
              const data1 = [
              { data: 'Lorem ipsum', checked: true },
              { data: 'Something special', checked: true },
              { data: 'John Wick', checked: true },
              { data: 'Poland' },
              { data: 'Germany' },
              { data: 'USA', checked: true },
              { data: 'China' },
              { data: 'Madagascar' },
              { data: 'Argentina' },
            ];

            const data2 = [
              { data: 'Russia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Australia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Hungary' },
              { data: 'France' },
            ];

            const instanceTransfer = new Transfer(transferEl, {
              dataSource: data1,
              dataTarget: data2,
              oneWay: true,
            });

Pagination

By adding 'pagination: true' you can set pagination on transfer component.

Edit in sandbox 
        
            
        <div id="transfer-pagination" class="transfer"></div>
      
        
    
        
            
              const transferEl = document.getElementById('transfer-pagination');
              const data1 = [
              { data: 'Lorem ipsum', checked: true },
              { data: 'Something special', checked: true },
              { data: 'John Wick', checked: true },
              { data: 'Poland' },
              { data: 'Germany', disabled: true },
              { data: 'USA', checked: true },
              { data: 'China' },
              { data: 'Madagascar' },
              { data: 'Argentina' },
            ];

            const data2 = [
              { data: 'Russia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Australia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Hungary' },
              { data: 'France' },
            ];

            const instanceTransfer = new Transfer(transferEl, {
              dataSource: data1,
              dataTarget: data2,
              pagination: true,
            });

Pagination with custom quantity

Furthermore, if you want to set custom number of elements per page then just use 'elementsPerPage' property.

Edit in sandbox 
        
            
        <div id="transfer-pagination-with-custom-quantity" class="transfer"></div>
      
        
    
        
            
            const transferEl = document.getElementById('transfer-pagination-with-custom-quantity');
            const data1 = [
              { data: 'Lorem ipsum', checked: true },
              { data: 'Something special', checked: true },
              { data: 'John Wick', checked: true },
              { data: 'Poland' },
              { data: 'Germany', disabled: true },
              { data: 'USA', checked: true },
              { data: 'China' },
              { data: 'Madagascar' },
              { data: 'Argentina' },
            ];

            const data2 = [
              { data: 'Russia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Australia', checked: true },
              { data: 'Hungary' },
              { data: 'France' },
            ];

            const instanceTransfer = new Transfer(transferEl, {
              dataSource: data1,
              dataTarget: data2,
              pagination: true,
              elementsPerPage: 7,
            });
