I just tried using golden layout the other day. The demo on their website with react support is v1 and when I installed it, I got v2 which apparently drops react support and has no documentation or examples on the website. With v1, it only supported class based components. While in theory you could maintain your own adapter logic for golden layout, it seems somewhat defunct, there are other newer libs that may even have better feeling drag and drop like this one. I also recall about six years ago when I went to use Golden layout on another project I ended up implementing my own with vanilla type script because of some (perceived) issues with it. My experiences have always been that although it is ubiquitous it’s not that great.
