A much complete and functional version can be found here (https://github.com/Chaos-Tech-Corp/Input-Field-Lookup).

lookup component focused

As simple to use as:

<aura:component>

    <aura:attribute name="selectedId" type="String" />
    
    <c:lookupField 
                    objectAPIName="Account" 
                    label="Relate to"
                    returnFields="['Name','Phone','Website']" 
                    queryFields="['Name','Phone','Website']"
                    selectedId="{!v.selectedId}"/>

</aura:component>

Javiar, I'm getting an error when trying to save the lightning component that says "Failed to save lookupField.cmp: No EVENT named markup://c:selectedsObjectRecordEvent found : [markup://c:lookupField]: Source"
Any idea why that might be?

Hello Eli,
Apologies I forgot to include one file for the event in the repository. It's up to date now and you shouldn't have that error anymore.

That worked perfectly. Thank, Javier!

Hi Javiar, great component! But I'm just wondering why does it not let me create a record whenever I click New Account? Is there something wrong?

Kristjan
