title: Protractor testing: How to set the value of text elements in a login form?
body: <p>I am writing tests in Protractor for an Angular app. I want to fill out a login form and submit it. </p>
  
  <p>How can I do this? I have got this far, but I don't know how to set the value of the email and password fields. </p>
  
  <pre><code>describe('The dashboard', function() {
    ptor = protractor.getInstance();
  
    beforeEach(function() {
      ptor.get('#/dashboard');
      var email = ptor.findElement(protractor.By.model('email'));
      var password = ptor.findElement(protractor.By.model('password'));
      var submit = ptor.findElement(protractor.By.tagName('button'));
      // Fill out the form?
      submit.click();
    });
  
    it('has a heading', function() {
      heading = ptor.findElement(protractor.By.tagName('h1'));
      expect(heading.getText()).toEqual('My Dashboard');
    });
  });
  </code></pre>
