How to get RecordEditForm Object Id

Question

I have an Aura component and Im trying to retrieve the selected account id of this record edit form:

<lightning:recordEditForm objectApiName="Order">
    <lightning:inputField aura:id="input_field" fieldName="AccountId" required="true" onchange="{!c.handleAccountSubmit}"/>                      
</lightning:recordEditForm>

is it possible?

Answer 1

The change event passes back an array of ids, so it looks something like this:

   ({
        handleAccountSubmit: function (cmp, event, helper) {
        var tempsessionid = event.getParams().value;
        if (tempsessionid) {
            console.log(tempsessionid[0]);
        }
    }
})

Answer 2

It should be available as the value attribute in the input field component. In this case you could do.

var accountId = component.find('input_field').get('v.value')

Or you can bind the value attribute too:

<lightning:recordEditForm objectApiName="Order">
    <lightning:inputField 
        aura:id="input_field" 
        fieldName="AccountId" 
        required="true" 
        value="{!v.accountId}"
    />                      
</lightning:recordEditForm>
