bootstrap datepicker today as default

Question

I am using this bootstrap-datepicker for my datepicker. I\'d like the datepicker to choose \"today\" for start day or default day. I cannot figure out how to set \"today\"

Answer 1

According to this link Set default date of jquery datepicker, the other solution is

var d = new Date();

var currDate = d.getDate();
var currMonth = d.getMonth();
var currYear = d.getFullYear();

var dateStr = currDate + "-" + currMonth + "-" + currYear;

$("#datepicker").datepicker(({dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy" autoclose: true, defaultDate: dateStr });

Answer 2

I used this a little example and it worked.

$('#date').datetimepicker({
    defaultDate: new Date()
});

Answer 3

Set after Init

 $('#dp-ex-3').datepicker({ autoclose: true, language: 'es' });
$('#dp-ex-3').datepicker('update', new Date());

This example is working.

Answer 4

For bootstrap date picker

$( ".classNmae" ).datepicker( "setDate", new Date());

* new Date is jquery default function in which you can pass custom date & if it not set, it will take current date by default

Answer 5

I changed code in line 1796 file 'bootstrap-datetimepicker.js'. It's worked for me

Answer 6

It works fine for me...

$(document).ready(function() {
        var date = new Date();
        var today = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());

        $('#datepicker1').datepicker({
            format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
            orientation: 'bottom'
        });

        $('#datepicker1').datepicker('setDate', today);

    });
