Description
Questions like this are very common.
https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11988#issuecomment-355953812
We should have a page that explains common patterns for immutable updates for objects and arrays. It should also show how to combine these approaches for more nested fields. Finally it can link to some utilities for people who prefer them.
