In AngularJS, how can we set the min
attribute of input type=\"date\"
to current date (today\'s) ?
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();
$scope.today = today.toISOString();
});
Html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="plunker">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>AngularJS Plunker</title>
<script>document.write('<base href="' + document.location + '" />');</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script data-require="angular.js@1.3.x" src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.14/angular.js" data-semver="1.3.14"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
<form name="myForm">
<input type="date" ng-model="StartDate" name="StartDate" required min="{{today}}" />
<span ng-show="myForm.StartDate.$dirty && myForm.StartDate.$invalid">
<span ng-show="myForm.StartDate.$error.required">Start Date is required</span>
<span ng-show="myForm.StartDate.$error.min">Start Date should not be less than current date</span>
</span>
</form>
</body>
</html>
your error message indicates you want the date to be no greater than the current date, if that is the case simply change
<input type="date" ng-model="StartDate" name="StartDate" required min="{{today}}" />
to
<input type="date" ng-model="StartDate" name="StartDate" required max="{{today}}" />
Working Example
just add in your controller
$scope.today=new Date() // calculates current date
and in your html code add -
min-date="today"
Yes you can set a minimum value. According to docs:
<input type="date"
ng-model=""
[name=""]
[min=""]
[max=""]
[required=""]
[ng-required=""]
[ng-change=""]>
Arguments
min (optional) string - Sets the min validation error key if the value entered is less than min. This must be a valid ISO date string (yyyy-MM-dd).
EDIT To set the field to current date:
controller:
function Ctrl($scope)
{
$scope.date = new Date();
}
view:
<input type="date" ng-model="data.StartDate"
name="StartDate" min="{{date | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'}}" />

correct answers are already in above, if anyone looking for a solution in Angular 2/4/5 here is a way,
in you .ts file
private todate = new Date();
in your html file,
<input type="date" min="{{todate | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'}}" class="form-control" [(ngModel)]="datemodel" id="input-12">
also here you can file other format options available in Angular
date formats
var today = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];
document.getElementsByName("appo_date")[0].setAttribute('min', today);
<input type="date" name="appo_date" id="appo_date" ng-model="appoint_data.appo_date"
ng-required="true" close-text="Close" uib-datepicker-popup="dd-MMMM-yyyy" required>
