In lightning component I have a text data type input (custom) field in a 'lightning' namespace, <lightning:input>. The field has a 'lookup" relationship to Contact. How do you code this?
Is there a built-in component attribute in any of the namespaces, (ie., lightning:, ui:, or force:, that has a search or lookup functionality to the Contact object record. The field I am working is in a lightning component, within a "form" component attribute.
Here is a snapshot of the form component in top-level component.
This is a snapshot the custom field 'data type'
The app works except when I enter data into the 'Client' field it will not save and create record.

<force:inputField value="{!v.newexpense.Clinet__c}"/>
For the trailhead module, Client = Client__c = Text(50) so that can work with a simple input and a simple save but that is not your case here.

Salesforce has hidden for along time the missing lookup field (equivalent of <apex:inputField>) for Lightning components.

There was <force:inputfield> that has never worked correctly.
Now, you should use: <lightning:inputField> ... but there are strong constrainsts and you will need also <lightning:recordEditForm>
