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

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);

    });
