How to v-model a input of type date

Question

I have an input like so:

<input class="input" type="date" v-model="dob" />

dob is initialized as null, and works properly. For example 03/05/2006 models to 2006-03-05T00:00:00.000+00:0 . However when dob is inititialized as 2006-03-05T00:00:00.000+00:0 , it doesn't show in the date input. How would I fix this.

EDIT: you could use to set a default value and have it changing afterwards.

data() {
  return {
    initialDate: Date.now(),
  };
},
computed: {
  dob: {
    get() {
      return this.initialDate;
    },
    set(newValue) {
      this.initialDate = newValue;
    },
  },
},

Where is your input coming from? It probably needs a UNIX timestamp like 1612454883231 . Try initializing it with Date.now() or maybe try new Date().toISOString().slice(0,10) .
Also, new Date('2006-03-05T00:00:00') if you want to set it manually (and since it's a date of birth...).

If it doesn't work, you need to dig the documentation to see which format it accepts.
