    <script type="text/javascript">
    var sidebar = null;
    var items = [{

        key:'item-1',
        href:'#item-1'

        key:'item-2',
        href:'#item-2'
    },{
        label:'item-3',
        key:'item-3',
        href:'#item-3'
    }]; 

    function update(selected:item){
        ReactDOM.render(
        sidebar = React.createElement(ShReact.Sidebar,{
            className:'my-class',
            items:items,
            selected:selected,
            onItemClick:onClick,
        }),document.getElementById('SidebarContainer'));
    }

    function onClick(item,index){
        update(item); 
    }
    sidebar = ReactDOM.render(
        React.createElement(ShReact.Sidebar,{
            className:'my-class',
            items:items,
            selected:items[0],
            onItemClick:onClick,
        }),document.getElementById('SidebarContainer'));
     
    </script>

    const React = require('react'); 
    const ReactDOM = require('react-dom'); 
    const Sidebar = require('sh-react-sidebar').Sidebar; 

    var items = [{
        label:'item-1',
        key:'item-1',
        href:'#item-1'
    },{
        label:'item-2',
        key:'item-2',
        href:'#item-2'
    },{
        label:'item-3',
        key:'item-3',
        href:'#item-3'
    }]; 

    function onClick(item,index){
        console.log(item);
    }

    let sidebar = ReactDOM.render(<Sidebar 
        items={items} 
        selected={items[0]} 
        onItemClick={onClick} />,
        document.getElementById('SidebarContainer'));

    var items = [{

        href:'#item-2'
    },{
        label:'item-3',
        key:'item-3',
        href:'#item-3'
    }]; 

    function onClick(item,index){
        console.log(item);
    }

    let sidebar = ReactDOM.render(<Sidebar
