How to pass the object being iterated to JS controller?

Hi Himanshu,

There is no need to create a child component:

<aura:attribute name=”stores” type=”Account[]”/>
<aura:iteration items=”{!v.stores}” var=”store” indexVar=”idx”>
<div class=”slds-card” data-record=”{!idx}” onclick=”{!c.goToStoreDetail}”>
<header class=”slds-card__header slds-grid grid–flex-spread”>
<h2 class=”slds-text-heading–medium slds-truncate”>{!store.Name}</h2>
</header>
</div>
</aura:iteration>

As you can see, I have used indexVar attribute in the iteration. I then use the index values in the data attribute of Div. Now in the JS Controller you can use the following code to retrieve the record based on the index.

var selectedItem = event.currentTarget; // Get the target object
var index = selectedItem.dataset.record; // Get its value i.e. the index
var selectedStore = component.get(“v.stores”)[index]; // Use it retrieve the store record
