Create record from a lightning component

Hi,

We were trying to get input from user through submit form in a lightning component and with that input values create a record in a custom object. We got the input by the following code:

    <aura:attribute name="custDetail" type="CustomerDetail__c[]"></aura:attribute>
    <aura:attribute name="customerInfo"  type="CustomerDetail__c" default="{            sobjectType: 'CustomerDetail__c' }" />
    <force:inputField value="{!v.customerInfo.Name}"/>
    <ui:button label="Edit Record" press="{!c.saveDetails}"/>


Our jscontroller looks like the following

({
    saveDetails : function(component, event, helper) 
    {
    
    var dets = component.get("v.customerInfo.Name");
        alert(dets);
        //console.log('dets::'  + dets);
        //debugger;
        
    helper.save(component,dets);
    }
})


We get the name in the alert correctly when we submit.


Next the helper is as following


({
    save: function(component, dets) {
    //Save the expense and update the view
    this.upsertDet(component, dets, function(a) {
        var dets3 = component.get("v.custDetail");
        dets3.push(a.getReturnValue());
        console.log('here'+dets3);
        component.set("v.custDetail", dets3);
    });
},
upsertDet : function(component, dets, callback) {
  var action = component.get("c.saveDetailsGiven");
  action.setParams({ 
      "dets": dets
  });
  if (callback) {
      action.setCallback(this, callback);
  }
  $A.enqueueAction(action);
}
})


Apex class::

public class saveCusDetails {
     @AuraEnabled 
    public static string saveDetailsGiven(CustomerDetail__c details) {
   
    upsert details;
        system.debug('#####'+ details);
    return details.Id;
}
}


There are no errors but the record is not getting created. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

dets variable is a string and you are passing the string to saveDetailsGiven method which accepts CustomerDetail__c as parameter you need to use the JSON.Stringfy method to pass the object to the method. Please check the trailhead.

We did it by passing the entire object to the apex controller and upserting it.
