You can use this function to add the text to the input when the button is clicked.

 <script>
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#setBtnID").click(function () {
                    $("input:text").val("Hello World!");
                });
            });
        </script>


* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.container {
  height: 60vh;
  width: 100vw;
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
  border: 2px solid blue;
}

.btn {
  height: 40vh;
  border: 2px solid red;
  width: 100vw;
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
}

.btn>button {
  padding: 10px 40px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<head>
<script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#setBtnID").click(function () {
                $("input:text").val("Hello World!");
            });
        });
    </script>
    </head>
<body>
<div class="container">
  <input type="text" value="" id="input">
</div>
<div class="btn">
  <button  id="setBtnID">INSERT SOME TEXT</button>
</div>
</body>
