Trigger event from JS such that React can listen to them

script.js

function setNativeValue(element, value) {
  const valueSetter = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(element, 'value').set;
  const prototype = Object.getPrototypeOf(element);
  const prototypeValueSetter = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(prototype, 'value').set;
  
  if (valueSetter && valueSetter !== prototypeValueSetter) {
  	prototypeValueSetter.call(element, value);
  } else {
    valueSetter.call(element, value);
  }
}

elem = $('.reply-input')
setNativeValue(elem, 'hello' + Math.random())
e = new Event('input', { bubbles: true });
elem.dispatchEvent(e)
