angularjs setting input variable via regular javascript

Question

If I set an input variable like

input.value = 'Something';

I know I can trigger an update to angularjs via

$(input).trigger('input');

Can I trigger the same event using regular Javascript? Without using jQuery?

Should be using models if you're using Angular, FYI (deleted answer, felt like more of a comment) — tymeJV
