How do I setState for nested object?

Question

For a plugin I\'m using I have to have a state that looks like this:

getInitialState() {
  return {
    invalid: true,
    access: {
      access_code: \'\',

Another way to do this would be

const newAccess = {...this.state.access};
newAccess.hospital_id = 1;
setState({access: newAccess});

Use of the spread operator creates a clone of this.state.access.
