Get value of input for testing

Question

I am trying to write simple e2e test, using angular, karma and protractor. I figure out that I can get the text from some element using getText() but I can't find the right way to get the value of input. The sample of my code below:

this.page =  $('.content-area');
this.userEmail = this.page.element(by.css('.email > input'));

this.expectHomeEmail = function(text) {
            expect(this.userEmail.isDisplayed()).toBeTrue();
            expect(this.userEmail.getValue()).toBe(text);
};

The error that I get looks like:

TypeError: undefined is not a function

Thanks a lot!
