Get react state with dynamic key

Question

I already know how to setState with a dynamic key name but how do I set a value as the state with a dynamic key?

Example

function thing(key) {
 let stuff = this.state.key;

 //Do stuff
}

Thanks brother! Didn't even think of accessing it that way! It was a duplicate. — Aaron, Sep 02 '17 at 17:47
If you could accept it as a duplicate (by following the directions on the yellow dialog) that'd be great! — Andrew Li, Sep 02 '17 at 17:48

Didn't even think of think of this as first but all I did was

function thing(key) {
 let stuff = this.state[key];

 //Do stuff
}

and it worked!
