I have a code:

document.getElementById(\'loginInput\').value = \'123\';

But while compiling the code I receive following error:

A different approach, i.e: You could just do it 'the Angular way' and use ngModel and skip document.getElementById('loginInput').value = '123'; altogether. Instead:

username: 'whatever'
password: 'whatever'

this will preset the username and password upon navigating to page.
