    Hi Anish,
    You can do your implementation something like this :

    <aura:application >
    <aura:attribute name="contact" type="Contact" default="{LastName: 'Smith'}"/>
    <ul>
    <li>LastName: {!v.contact.LastName}</li>
    <li>Email: {!v.contact.Email}</li>
    </ul>

    <c:FieldSetForm
    fsName="Contact_Field_Set"
    typeName="Contact"
    record="{!v.contact}"
    />
    <button onclick="{!c.handleSave}">save</button>
    </aura:application>

    FieldSetForm.cmp
    ----------------
    <aura:component controller="FieldSetCtlr">
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.init}" />
    <aura:attribute name="record" type="Object" description="The record being edited"/>
    <aura:attribute name="fsName" type="String"/>
    <aura:attribute name="typeName" type="String"/>
    <aura:attribute name="fields" type="Object[]"/>
    <aura:attribute name="form" type="Aura.Component[]"/>
    <aura:attribute name="inputToField" type="Map"/>
    <p>
    {!v.form}
    </p>
    </aura:component>

    FieldSetFormController.js
    -------------------------

    ({
    init: function(cmp, event, helper) {
    console.log('FieldSetFormController.init');
    var action = cmp.get('c.getFields');
    action.setParams({
    fsName: cmp.get('v.fsName'),
    typeName: cmp.get('v.typeName')
    });
    action.setCallback(this,
    function(response) {
    console.log('FieldSetFormController getFields callback');
    var fields = response.getReturnValue();
    cmp.set('v.fields', fields);
    helper.createForm(cmp);
    }
    );
    $A.enqueueAction(action);
    },

    handleValueChange: function(cmp, event, helper) {
    console.log('change');
    var inputToField = cmp.get('v.inputToField');
    var field = inputToField[event.getSource().getGlobalId()];
    var obj = cmp.get('v.record');
    if (!obj[field]) {
    // Have to make a copy of the object to set a new property - thanks LockerService!
    obj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj));
    }
    obj[field] = event.getSource().get('v.value');
    cmp.set('v.record', obj);
    }
    })

    FieldSetFormHelper.js
    ---------------------

    ({
    configMap: {
    'anytype': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'base64': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'boolean': {componentDef: 'ui:inputCheckbox', attributes: {} },
    'combobox': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },

    }
    },
    'datetime': { componentDef: 'ui:inputDateTime', attributes: {} },
    'double': { componentDef: 'ui:inputNumber', attributes: {} },
    'email': { componentDef: 'ui:inputEmail', attributes: {} },

    'id': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'integer': { componentDef: 'ui:inputNumber', attributes: {} },
    'multipicklist': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'percent': { componentDef: 'ui:inputNumber', attributes: {} },
    'phone': { componentDef: 'ui:inputPhone', attributes: {} },
    'picklist': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'reference': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'string': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'textarea': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} },
    'time': { componentDef: 'ui:inputDateTime', attributes: {} },
    'url': { componentDef: 'ui:inputText', attributes: {} }
    },

    createForm: function(cmp) {
    console.log('FieldSetFormHelper.createForm');
    var fields = cmp.get('v.fields');
    var obj = cmp.get('v.record');
    var inputDesc = [];
    var fieldPaths = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
    var field = fields[i];
    var config = this.configMap[field.type.toLowerCase()];
    if (config) {
    config.attributes.label = field.label;
    config.attributes.required = field.required;
    config.attributes.value = obj[field.fieldPath];
    config.attributes.fieldPath = field.fieldPath;
    inputDesc.push([
    config.componentDef,
    config.attributes
    ]);
    fieldPaths.push(field.fieldPath);
    } else {
    console.log('type ' + field.type.toLowerCase() + ' not supported');
    }
    }

    $A.createComponents(inputDesc, function(cmps) {
    console.log('createComponents');
    var inputToField = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < fieldPaths.length; i++) {
    cmps[i].addHandler('change', cmp, 'c.handleValueChange');
    inputToField[cmps[i].getGlobalId()] = fieldPaths[i];
    }
    cmp.set('v.form', cmps);
    cmp.set('v.inputToField', inputToField);
    });
    }
    })
    FieldSetCtlr.cls
    ----------------

    public class FieldSetCtlr {

    @AuraEnabled
    public static List<FieldSetMember> getFields(String typeName, String fsName) {
    Schema.SObjectType targetType = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(typeName);
    Schema.DescribeSObjectResult describe = targetType.getDescribe();
    Map<String, Schema.FieldSet> fsMap = describe.fieldSets.getMap();
    Schema.FieldSet fs = fsMap.get(fsName);
    List<Schema.FieldSetMember> fieldSet = fs.getFields();
    List<FieldSetMember> fset = new List<FieldSetMember>();
    for (Schema.FieldSetMember f: fieldSet) {
    fset.add(new FieldSetMember(f));
    }
    return fset;
    }

    public class FieldSetMember {

    public FieldSetMember(Schema.FieldSetMember f) {
    this.DBRequired = f.DBRequired;
    this.fieldPath = f.fieldPath;
    this.label = f.label;
    this.required = f.required;
    this.type = '' + f.getType();
    }

    public FieldSetMember(Boolean DBRequired) {
    this.DBRequired = DBRequired;
    }

    @AuraEnabled
    public Boolean DBRequired { get;set; }

    @AuraEnabled
    public String fieldPath { get;set; }

    @AuraEnabled
    public String label { get;set; }

    @AuraEnabled
    public Boolean required { get;set; }

    @AuraEnabled
    public String type { get; set; }
    }
    }
    Thanks.

    Hi Manpreet,

    I am new to lightning and I am not able to fix this error,

    This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Error in $A.getCallback() [Cannot read property 'length' of null] Callback failed: apex://FieldSetCtlr/ACTION$getFields Failing descriptor: {c:FieldSetForm}

    Why is fields null here ? I have a field set on contact and it  has fields .

    Regards,

    Pallavi
