Set min date to current date in angularJS input

Question

In AngularJS, how can we set the min attribute of input type=\"date\" to current date (today\'s) ?

Answer 1

According to the Angular docs

min (optional) string Sets the min validation error key if the value entered is less than min. This must be a valid ISO date string (yyyy-MM-dd).

you can bind that to a scope variable or directly put the expression in the attribute, it just needs to be in the correct format (javascript date object has a toISOString() method). It should also be noted this does not prevent the user from picking a date below the minimum and instead sets the validation key to indicate the field is not valid.

edit:

Script

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.name = 'World';
  var today=new Date();
  $scope.today = today.toISOString();
});

Html

  
    
    
    
    
    
    
  

  
    
Hello {{name}}!
    

    
    
    Start Date is required
    Start Date should not be less than current date



  

your error message indicates you want the date to be no greater than the current date, if that is the case simply change
