I'm having trouble finding documentation on this. Is there a way to bind a Picklist value in the lightning component / aura ui:inputSelect tag? Something as simple as <ui:inputSelect value="{!v.obj.Picklist__c" />?

Otherwise, it looks like the only alternative is to utilize the Javascript controller and do a describe to grab the picklist values, which I would prefer to avoid.

Thanks!

As Mohith implied, you can use the force:inputField component (note, I cant remember if this requires Winter 16) to bind to a Salesforce field, the same way you would in Visualforce.

  • It's important to note that you should reference a non null sobject when you use the force:inputField tag. (use the default attribute for instance) Otherwise, you'll get a Internal Server Error when using the tag. Although this still didn't quite work for my use case (the select list was disabled for some reason), marking it as best answer. – James Loghry Oct 12 '15 at 15:17
  • Yes, passing null values isn't a way to win friends in any situation. Were you able to debug why the list was disabled? Perhaps a FLS issue? – Christian Carter Oct 12 '15 at 16:03

No, currently (2016-12-17) there seems to be no alternative to query the schema and do the heavy-lifting yourself.

At this time, force:inputField still does not work. It should be fixed in Spring '17 release. See:

Lightning Components: why force:inputField picklist select renders disabled?
