You can already do that, although it's not _exactly_ the same as setState in a class (states aren't merged together... but if you really wanted to, it'd be about five lines to implement a custom hook) const [state, setState] = useState({ foo: "123", bar: "abc", }); function updateBar(nextBar) { setState({ ...state, bar: nextBar }); }
