Input data in lightning component.

Hi All,

I am writing a basic lightning component. please find the code below. I am just getting the value from the inputtext component and displaying it on the console. But it is giving me following error. what i m doing wrong.?
 
<aura:component >
    <aura:attribute name="newExpense" type="KNNaga__Expense__c" access="public"/>
    
    <ui:inputText value="{!v.newExpense.KNNaga__Amount__c}" label="Expense Name" aura:id="Amount"/>
    <ui:button label="submit" press="{!c.createExpense}"/>
    
	
</aura:component>

controller.
({
	createExpense : function(component, event, helper) {
        
        var name = component.find("Amount");
        var value = name.get("v.value");
        
        console.log("value::"+value);
       
		
	}
})

Error which i m getting  aftter clicking the button. No error displayed in javascript console.

This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Error in $A.getCallback() [Cannot read property 'KNNaga__Amount__c' of null] Failing descriptor: {markup://ui:input} 

Thanks in advance.

give default value to attribute
<aura:component >
    <aura:attribute name="newExpense" type="KNNaga__Expense__c" default="{ 'sobjectType': 'KNNaga__Expense__c',
                                                                   'KNNaga__Amount__c': ,
                                                                   }" access="public"/>
    
    <ui:inputText value="{!v.newExpense.KNNaga__Amount__c}" label="Expense Name" aura:id="Amount"/>

Hi Piyush,

Thanks u . it worked. One quick question.

Do u have specify "default" for each attribute i write ?
sfdcMonkey.comsfdcMonkey.com
hi nagachandra
we have not need to give default for each attribute its optional but in your case your input field  maping with Expense__c custom object so you must define default value if you only write like this (only object body) -:
<aura:attribute name="newExpense" type="Expense__c" default="{}" access="public"/>
then also your compnent work fine  . 
otherwise its assume object null.
so it always good pratice that when we are map any component field with custom or stand. object then give default value to attribute
