I am taking record id and object name as input from user

    <aura:attribute name="recordidinput" type="Id" />
    <aura:attribute name="objectname" type="String" />
    
    <lightning:input name="objectdetail" label="Object" value="{!v.objectname }" placeholder="enter the object..."/>
    <lightning:input name="recordiddetail" label="Record ID" value="{!v.recordidinput }"
placeholder="enter the recordId..."/>
    <lightning:button variant="brand" label="Submit" title="Submit" onclick="{!c.handleSubmit}" />

These attributes have to be passed on to a child component as follows :

    <c:displayRecordDetailsLWC recordIdDetail="{!v.recordidinput}" objectName="{!v.objectname}">

The problem is that :

The value should get passed to child component only when submit button is pressed. Right now, the button is useless and due to two-way binding the values are getting updated at every keystroke which is not what I want.

Don't bind the value, but assign it when you want to update the child object:

<lightning:input aura:id="objectdetail" label="Object" placeholder="enter the object..."/>
<lightning:input aura:id="recordiddetail" label="Record ID" />

...

handleSubmit: function(component, event, helper) {
  let objectdetail = component.find("objectdetail").get("v.value");
  let recordiddetail = component.find("recordiddetail").get("v.value");
  component.set("v.objectname", objectdetail);
  component.set("v.recordidinput", recordiddetail);
}

  • Thank you! I wanted to ask if there are any resources that you can suggest to learn how to play around with attributes and methods like this?

    @ShreyaPandita There's no "one place" for things like this. A lot of things are possible. setTimeout is a common Aura example, mentioned here in the docs, and you can find other examples out there on the Internet (e.g. doing an API call, loading a file, and other asynchronous tasks). And, of course, feel free to turn here, we love coming up with solutions that aren't in the books.

    And wherever possible, use an LWC component. Despite binding being slightly more complex to implement, just about everything else is easier / faster (especially calls to the server).

    @CasparHarmer Also a good point. LWC has one-way binding, so doing it as in this answer is the natural mode for LWC.

  • Nice, I did not know LWC has one-way binding! Will check it out next time My use-case was that I had to call two child components (one aura and one lwc). I used aura as a parent component because I read somewhere we cannot call aura child component from lwc.
