    },
```
```
 
```
```

    changeCityName:function(component, event, helper){

        var cityName = component.find('cityName').get('v.value');

        component.set('v.newStudent.City__c',cityName);

```
    },

```
 
```
```
 
```

    changeStateName:function(component, event, helper){

        var stateName = component.find('stateName').get('v.value');

        component.set('v.newStudent.State__c',stateName);

```
    },
```

    setCheckBoxValue: function(component,event) {

        var val = event.currentTarget.value;

    setGenderValue: function(component,event) {

```
    },
```
```
 
```
```
 
```
```
})
```

Step 4:- Create Lightning Component : submitFormCustomObjCmpHelper.js

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Component >> JavaScript Helper

submitFormCustomObjCmpHelper.js [JavaScript Helper File]

```
  ({
```

	cityPickListView : function(component, event, helper) {

		var action = component.get("c.pickList");

        action.setParams({"obj":"NewStudent__c","str":"City__c"});

        action.setCallback(this, function(response){

            var state = response.getState();

```
            if(state=="SUCCESS"){
```

                var result = response.getReturnValue();

                component.set('v.cityListStr',result);

```
 
```
```
            }
```
```
        });
```
```
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
```
```
	},
```
```
 
```
```
 
```

    statePickListView : function(component, event, helper) {

		var action = component.get("c.pickList");

        action.setParams({"obj":"NewStudent__c","str":"State__c"});

        action.setCallback(this, function(response){

            var state = response.getState();

```
            if(state=="SUCCESS"){
```

                var result = response.getReturnValue();

                component.set('v.stateListStr',result);

```
 
```
```
            }
```
```
        });
```
```
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
```
```
	},
```
```
 
```
```
})
```

Step 5:- Create Lightning Component Style: submitFormCustomObjCmp.css

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Component >> Component Style CSS

submitFormCustomObjCmp.css [Style CSS]

```
   .THIS {
```
```
    background:#fff !important;
```
```
}
```

.THIS .slds-input.has-error, .THIS .slds-select.has-error {

    background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

```
    border-color: rgb(194, 57, 52);
```

    box-shadow: rgb(194, 57, 52) 0 0 0 1px inset;

```
    background-clip: padding-box;
```
```
  }
```

Step 6:- Create Apex Class : submitFormCustomObjCmpCtrl

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Apex Class

studentInfoCtrl.apxc [Apex Class Controller]

   public class submitFormCustomObjCmpCtrl {

```
    @AuraEnabled
```

    public static void newStudentMethod(NewStudent__c studentRecId){

```
        upsert studentRecId;
```
```
    } 
```
```
 
```
```
    @AuraEnabled
```

    public static string newStudentInsrt(string nameStr, string emailStr){

        NewStudent__c stdntNameStr = NEW NewStudent__c();

        List<NewStudent__c> stdntNameList=[SELECT Id, Name FROM NewStudent__c WHERE Name =: nameStr];

```
        IF(stdntNameList.size() > 0){
```

            RETURN 'Duplicate name Not Allow';

```
        }ELSE{
```
```
        stdntNameStr.Name=nameStr;
```
```
        stdntNameStr.Email__c=emailStr;
```
```
        INSERT stdntNameStr;
```

          RETURN 'Inserted successfully';

```
        }    
```
```
 
```
```
    }
```
```
 
```
```
    @AuraEnabled
```

    public static List<String> pickList(String obj, String str) {

```
 
```

         List<String> regList = NEW List<String>();

            Schema.DescribeFieldResult plistvalues = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(obj).getDescribe().fields.getMap().get(str).getDescribe();

            FOR(PicklistEntry ent:plistvalues.getpicklistvalues())     {

                regList.add(ent.getLabel());

```
            }
```
```
             RETURN regList;
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```
