I am trying to open the bootstrap datepicker on the date stored in the var startDate
.
The code below is not working as the default date format for the datepicker is mm/dd/yy. startDate
is in the format dd/mm/yy.
<script type="text/javascript" >
function toggle_dp() {
$("#myModal").modal("show");
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
defaultDate: new Date('{{ startDate }}')
});
$("#datepicker").datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", "dd-mm-yy" );
}
</script>
For example, if the startDate
is 05/03/2018 (5th March), the datepicker will open with default date 03/05/2018 (3rd May).
Use formate: instead of dateFormat:
<script type="text/javascript" >
function toggle_dp() {
$("#myModal").modal("show");
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
format: 'dd/mm/yy',
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
defaultDate: new Date(toMMDDYYYY(startDate))
});
}
function toMMDDYYYY(date) {
var datePart = date.split("/");
var MMDDYYYY = [datePart[1], datePart[0],datePart[2]].join('/');
return MMDDYYYY
}
</script>
You have written the wrong syntax for format
. Just replace dateFormat
with format
in your script code like below
