Problems with array as state in React

jsx transforming tool throws an error saying 'unexpected token: [' on the following line:

this.setState({array[index]: value});

Obviously I want simply to set new state but this error forced me to write some workarounds. Why isn't the transformer accepting the above line?

Simply because it's not valid Javascript (or JSX for that matter). You want something like this:

array[index] = value;
this.setState({array: array});
