+⚠️ This approach will cause a `React` warning as we are spreading all of the props of the component onto the DOM node. `{...this.props}` This includes the `innerRef` prop which `React` does not like you adding to an element. So you can set things up like this:
+
+```diff
+class Person extends React.Component {
+  render() {
+-    return (
+-      <div {...this.props} ref={this.props.innerRef}>
+-        I am a person, I think..
+-      </div>
+-    );

++    return (
++      <div
++        {...provided.draggableProps}
++        {...provided.dragHandleProps}
++        ref={innerRef}
++      >
++        I am a person, I think..
++      </div>
++    );
+  }

+<Draggable draggableId="draggable-1" index={0}>
+  {(provided, snapshot) => (
+    <Person
+      innerRef={provided.innerRef}
+-      {...provided.draggableProps}
+-      {...provided.dragHandleProps}
++      provided={provided}
+    />
+  )}
+</Draggable>
+```
+
 If you also need to use the *DOM node* within your *Component* you can have a more powerful ref setting approach:
 
 ```js
 class Person extends React.Component {
   setRef = ref => {
-    // keep a reference to the ref as an instance property
+    // keep a reference to the dom ref as an instance property
     this.ref = ref;
-    // give the ref to react-beautiful-dnd
+    // give the dom ref to react-beautiful-dnd
     this.props.innerRef(ref);
   };
   render() {
+    const { provided, innerRef } = this.props;
     return (
-      <div {...this.props} ref={this.setRef}>
-        I am a person, I think..
+      <div
+        {...provided.draggableProps}
+        {...provided.dragHandleProps}
+        ref={this.setRef}
