Hi Team

I have a small problem, my input-form control for date is not correct. It shows this form on my input-daterange.eg 01/08/2020. I want this format be 08/01/2020 and have the below logic that does that and need some improvement to make it better.

What I have tried:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.5.0/css/bootstrap-datepicker3.min.css">
<script type='text/javascript' src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.5.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>
 <!---DatePicker for startDate and endDate.
   ----> 
   <div class="d-flex justify-content-start">
   <div class = "col-xl-10.5 col-lg-10.5 col-md-10 col-sm-10.5 col-10.5">
 <div class="input-daterange input-group" id="datepicker">
   <input type="text" class="input-sm form-control" name="from" placeholder="startdate"/>
   <span class="input-group-addon">To</span>
   <input type="text" class= "input-sm form-control" placeholder="enddate"/>
     </div>
     </div>
  </div><br>
  // date functionality
 $(document).ready(function() {
   var year = (new Date).getFullYear();
   $('.input-daterange').datepicker({
     dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy",
     autoclose:true,
     minDate: new Date(year, 0, 1),
     maxDate:new Date(year, 11, 31)

   });
 });

JavaScript

***Update use the format option not dateFormat
hello, you already have the dateFormat option.
The format you already have on your script is
dd=day,
mm=month,
yy =year,

example date with your current format is : 31/12/2020

$(document).ready(function() {
   var year = (new Date).getFullYear();
   $('.input-daterange').datepicker({
     format: "dd-mm-yyyy",
     autoclose:true,
     minDate: new Date(year, 0, 1),
     maxDate:new Date(year, 11, 31)

   });
 });

you can change date format for example :

"mm-dd-yyyy"

or

"mm/dd/yyyy"

On the form to me it reads as 01/07/2020. Instead it should be on a normal form when using datepicker 07/01/2020. Question is does bootstrap support this logic, the problem its not on datepicker on Jquery but on the form itself.

did you changed this :
$(document).ready(function() {
var year = (new Date).getFullYear();
$('.input-daterange').datepicker({
dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy",
autoclose:true,
minDate: new Date(year, 0, 1),
maxDate:new Date(year, 11, 31)

});
});

to this

$(document).ready(function() {
var year = (new Date).getFullYear();
$('.input-daterange').datepicker({
format: "dd-mm-yyyy",
autoclose:true,
minDate: new Date(year, 0, 1),
maxDate:new Date(year, 11, 31)

});
});

??

bootstrap datepicker has an option "format" not the option "dateFormat"

thanks mate, the format did work. it now reads as 15-01-2020 which is readable. I did know there is an option. Also when using the format:dd-mm-yyyy works to this approach unlike if using this format:mm/dd/yyyy
