Step 1:- Create Lightning Application : submitFormCustomObjApp.app

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Application

submitFormCustomObjApp.app [Component Application File]

  <aura:application extends="force:slds">
    <c:submitFormCustomObjCmp/>
</aura:application>

<aura:application extends="force:slds">

<c:submitFormCustomObjCmp/>

</aura:application>

Step 2:- Create Lightning Component : submitFormCustomObjCmp.cmp

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

submitFormCustomObjCmp.cmp [Lightning Component File]

   <aura:component controller="submitFormCustomObjCmpCtrl" implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >

component.set('v.newStudent.SpouseName__c','');

component.set('v.newStudent.Address__c','');

component.set('v.newStudent.Gender__c',null);

component.find('checkbox').set('v.checked',false);

var toastEvent = $A.get("e.force:showToast");

toastEvent.setParams({

"title": "Success!",

"type":'success',

"message": "The record has been updated successfully."

});

toastEvent.fire();

alert('Record saved successfully');

}

});

$A.enqueueAction(action);

}

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;

component.set("v.newStudent.IsMarried__c",val);

onCheck: function(component,event) {

var checkbox = component.find('checkbox').get('v.checked');

component.set("v.newStudent.IsMarried__c",checkbox);

setGenderValue: function(component,event) {

var val = event.currentTarget.value;

//alert(val);

component.set("v.newStudent.Gender__c",val);

})

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);
	},
    
})

({

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;
  }

.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;
    }
}

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;

}
