Datepicker: How to validate YEAR?

Question

I already tried searching countless times for this question but none of the answers seem to resolve the issue I am having.

$('.datepicker').datepicker(
{
    format: "mm/dd/yyyy",
    "setDate": new Date(),
    todayHighlight: true,
    "autoclose": true,
    yearRange: "1990:2100"
});

Basically, I have a datepicker, and I want to prevent the user from typing invalid years (eg: 000, 201, 231) so i want to prevent 3 number years basically. I tried putting yearRange but that doesnt work.

If you're using the jQuery UI Datepicker , you can specify minDate as -100Y and that'll constrain the year to within the last 100 years, which would eliminate 3-digit years in 2018.

For the bootstrap datepicker , it looks like you'd use startDate and again, set it to something like -100Y .
