Is there a way to set the `state` in a `Component` with the `Props` the `Component` receives from a `Parent Component?`

```
export default class SomeComp extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = someProps; // <-- I need the props to be the state of the Component
    }

    render() {
        const { someProps } = this.props;
        ...
    }
}

```

Or can I write a function, something like

```
export default class SomeComp extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

    }

    _setProps = (someProps) => {
          this.State = someProps;
    }

    render() {
        const { someProps } = this.props;
        this._setProps(someProps);
        ...
    }
}

```
