Your state is:

{myObject: {
   name: '',
   email: ''
}}

But you have not updated the value for MyObject.name in inputHandler. First, you need to create value in your first object.
Hence, the outcome will be:

{MyObject:{
   name:'',
   email:''
 },
 name:yorurInputValue
}

Now execute this:

useState({
  name:'',
  email:''
})

Hope this should work!
