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

Its simple

$(function() {
        $("#datePicker").datetimepicker({
            defaultDate:'now'

        });
    });

This will set today as default
