Method/alternate way to access dependent picklist fields in Lightning Component

Developer Tools

It's possible to define dependent picklist in the setup and they are supported out-of-the-box in Visualforce.But in case of lightning component they are not supported. Yes, I am aware of the workarounds/alternate solutions such as decoding the bit set for validFor. But I genuinely feel that there should be some OOB feature (like the one availavle in Visualforce should be there).One solution could be to have some something like this:
//Returns the dependent values based on the parameter passed
....getDescribe().getDependentPickListValues(parameter)

lightning:recordEditForm has limitations. While creating a new record it won't work. Often we will come across requirements where you need to use dependent picklists for creating new records from a custom component. Still proves to be a bottleneck.

Plz include something like this in the next version of Metadata Api:
....getDescribe().getDependentPickListValues(contollingPicklist)

This is a huge let down :(

I really need this to tidy up some legacy code that isn't working well. There are workarounds, but ultimately I don't want to introduce anything too complex. Specifically I want to have dependancies between States and Countries picklists on a custom Lightning component.

Following is an excerpt from documentation page of lightning:recordEditForm
-------
lightning dependentPicklist

------

The condition is that both the controlling as well as dependent fields should be used in recordEditForm
Link : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/bundle/lightning:inputField/documentation

Close the Idea, if this serves your purpose.

Very crucial as it doesn't work with lightning:RecordEditForm using aura:iteration to render list of fields.

There's a specific case where lightning:RecordEditForm does not work - and that is when it is wrapped around aura:iteration to be able to render a list of records. Lightning:recordEditForm will only work when both the controlling and dependent picklist are rendered at the same time.

This will save lots of workaround and custom code - time and effort. And is highly desireable for clients which want to move to Lightning from Classic.

Definately, i will help out in customizing dependent picklist values.

Mirroring the OOB functionality that is currently available in Classic is crucial to getting wider acceptance of the Lightning Experience for end users.

FYI.. After digging through the Lightning Components Developer Guide, usng lightning:recordEditForm in a component along with lightning:inputField gave me the result I was looking for as the dependent picklists are rendered using this method.

I am also looking for this feature to be available out of the box. Definitely a needed functionality in lightning experience.
