For my recent Requirement, I had to show the LookUp field of inside a lightning component. I had to use two components, the parent and child component. But how could I show the data type of the field when and all its functionality, like creating a new record as it works inside a standard Salesforce field on UI.

Parent Component

Inside which there is a table:

<aura:component>
<table > 
        <thead>
            <tr class="slds-text-title_caps">
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate">S.No</div>
                </th>
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate" title="LookUp Field">LookUp Field /Master-Detail</div>
                </th>
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate" title="Name"> Name</div>
                </th>
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate" title="Field1">Field1</div>
                </th>
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate" title="Picklist Field">Picklist Field</div>
                </th>
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate" title="Field2">Field2</div>
                </th>
                <th scope="col">
                    <div class="slds-truncate" title="CheckBox">CheckBox</div>
                </th>
                <th></th>
            </tr>
        </thead>   
        <tbody>
                   
            <aura:iteration items="{!v.objList}" var="item" indexVar="index">
                <c:childComponent objInstance ="{!item}" rowIndex="{!index}" />
            </aura:iteration>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</aura:component>

Instead of writing code for getting the lookup field, you can simply use the <force:inputField>.

<force:inputField> will show the field as it is on a Salesforce object. 

Child Component

<td> 
            {!v.rowIndex + 1}
        </td>
        <td>
            <div class="custom-outlook">
            <force:inputField value="{!v.objInstance.MyLookUpField}"/>
        </div>
        </td>
        <td>
            <ui:inputText class="slds-input" value="{!v.objInstance.Name}"/>
        </td>
        <td>
            <ui:inputText class="slds-input" value="{!v.objInstance.Field1}"/>
        </td>
        <td>
            <div class="custom-selectbox">
            <force:inputField value="{!v.objInstance.MyPicklistField}"/>
                </div>
        </td> 
        <td>
                <ui:inputText class="slds-input" value="{!v.objInstance.Field2}"/>
        </td>
       <td>
           <div class="custom-checkbox">
                <force:inputField class="slds-input" value="{!v.objInstance.CheckBox}"/>
               </div>
        </td>

Here, the LookUp field will show, on row 2, and the Picklist field will display its values. In short, if you ever need to use the fields according to their data-type use <force:inputField>, and save yourself the trouble of doing more code.
