</div>
</template>
lookupContainer.js
import { LightningElement, track } from 'lwc';
export default class LookupContainer extends LightningElement {
@track accountName;
@track accountRecordId;
onAccountSelection(event){
this.accountName = event.detail.selectedValue;
this.accountRecordId = event.detail.selectedRecordId;
}
}
