Set minDate to current date in DateRangePicker

Question

I am using DateRangePicker for dates. I was trying to disable past dates by setting min date to current date as below.It does not do any thing.

$('.daterange-single').daterangepicker({ 
        singleDatePicker: true,
        minDate: today
    });

but it is working fine when you give actual date as below.

$('.daterange-single').daterangepicker({ 
        singleDatePicker: true,
        minDate: "7/11/2019"
    });

Please help me how to set minDate to current date in DateRangePicker

Answer 1

You can set minDate at current date in daterangepicker. You can try the below code:

 $(function() { $('input[name="birthday"]').daterangepicker({ singleDatePicker: true, showDropdowns: true, minYear: 1901, minDate: new Date(), maxYear: parseInt(moment().format('YYYY'),10) }); }); 

 <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery/latest/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/latest/moment.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daterangepicker/daterangepicker.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daterangepicker/daterangepicker.css" /> <input type="text" name="birthday" /> 

Answer 2

set the value of today to the current date from moment moment()

var today = moment()

or simply to a date object

var today = new Date()

 $('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({ minDate: moment() });

you can try setting a variable to contain today's date and use it as minDate

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //As January is 0.
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
var todayDateString = dd+"/"+mm+"/"+yyyy;

$('.daterange-single').daterangepicker({ 
    singleDatePicker: true,
    minDate: todayDateString
});
