ui:outputText

Displays text as specified by the value attribute.

A ui:outputText component represents text output that is wrapped in an HTML span tag. This component can be used with ui:inputText, which takes in a text input. To display text, you can use an attribute value and bind it to the ui:outputText component.

<aura:attribute name="myText" type="String" default="some string"/>
<ui:outputText value="{!v.myText}" />

The previous example renders the following HTML.

<span dir="ltr" class="uiOutputText">
    some string
</span>

This example shows how you can bind data from an ui:inputText component.

<aura:component>
 <ui:inputText aura:id="name" label="Enter some text" class="field" value="My Text"/>
    <ui:button class="btn" label="Submit" press="{!c.setOutput}"/> 

 <div aura:id="msg" class="hide">
  You entered: <ui:outputText aura:id="oName" value=""/> 
 </div>
</aura:component>
({
	 setOutput : function(component, event, helper) {
		var cmpMsg = component.find("msg");
	    $A.util.removeClass(cmpMsg, 'hide');
	    
        var name = component.find("name").get("v.value");
        var oName = component.find("oName");
        oName.set("v.value", name); 
	 }
})
