how to get the value of aura:attribute in controller.js

In my lightning component I am having like this.

<aura:attribute name="claimType"  type="String" default="Pharmacy" description="some pharamcy"/>

I want the default value of the attribute in the controller.js file of the component for further processing.

Please tell me how to do this.

thanks
sheila

haiii,
    component.get(String key) retrieves and assigns values associated with the specified key on the component. Keys are passed in as an expression, which represents an attribute value.In this case ,
                                                var i=component.get("v.claimType");
thanks

Hi,

you can make use of component.get("c.claimType"); in your aura controller .(try it in doinit)

Hi Sheila,

Have a look at the code below:
<aura:component>
    <aura:attribute name="buttonLabel" type="String"/>  
</aura:component>

To get the attribute value in your controller.js use the statement
var label = component.get("v.buttonLabel");


I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
