What is the proper way to use the Months view in Bootstrap Datepicker?

Question

I'm trying to use the month view on Bootstrap Datepicker

I have the following HTML:

<div class="form-group col-12">
  <input id="portalDownloadMonth" type="text" readonly class="form-control pl-3" data-date-format="mm-yyyy" data-date-viewmode="months" placeholder="Mes" required>
</div>

And the following JavaScript

$('#portalDownloadMonth').datepicker({
  format: "mm-yyyy",
  viewMode: "months", 
  minViewMode: "months",
});

But this is not working at all, the input shows the day view

Can someone tell me what I missing?

Using the bootstrap-datepicker from the tag you provided on the question, you need to use:

format: "M yyyy",

Example snippet:

 $('.datepicker').datepicker({ format: "M yyyy", viewMode: "months", minViewMode: "months" });
