[SalesForce] Get title attribute from

element in Lightning Component

This has a similar solution to this issue:

How to remove items from a dynamic list in Lightning component?

It doesn't feel clean, but this will return both the value and the input that called it:

Component

<div class="slds-form-element__control">
    <ui:inputPhone class="slds-input" placeholder="{!Phone}" change='c.save'>
    </ui:inputPhone>
    <span id="{!'thisInput'+i}"></span>
</div>

Controller

save: function(cmp, evt){
  var targetCmp = evt.getSource();
  var val = targetCmp.get('v.value');
  var inputId = targetCmp.getElement().nextSibling.nextSibling.id;

  console.log(value);
  console.log(inputId);
}

If you're wondering why the double "nextSibling", it's because the ui:input renders something like:

<!--render facet: 0000:00;a-->

following the element.

I do hope there is a better way to do this.

On your lightning component markup - lets say you use iteration so you have the index variable from it, and you define your GlobalId as an attribute:

<aura:attribute name="GlobalId" type="String" access="GLOBAL" description="my id" />
<aura:attribute name="contacts" type="Contact[]" access="GLOBAL" description="list of my standard contacts" />
<aura:iteration items="{!v.contacts}" var="contact" indexVar="index">              
    <a aura:id="{! v.GlobalId + '_tab' + index}"> </a>
</aura:iteration>

Now your controller should get the id correctly
