Answer 1

Although nesting isn't really how you should treat a component state, sometimes for something easy for single tier nesting.

For a state like this

state = {
 contact: {
  phone: '888-888-8888',
  email: 'test@test.com'
 }
 address: {
  street:''
 },
 occupation: {
 }
}

A re-useable method ive used would look like this.

handleChange = (obj) => e => {
  let x = this.state[obj];
  x[e.target.name] = e.target.value;
  this.setState({ [obj]: x });
};

then just passing in the obj name for each nesting you want to address...
