Show Date outside of defined MinDate MaxDate restrictions

I have googled and tried to find out, but was unable to get a solution on this problem. On page load I am Restricting datePicker with following min and max values:
$("#<%=txtboxDate.ClientID%>").datepicker({
minDate: new Date(2017, 2, 21),
maxDate: new Date(2023, 07, 11) });
But I also have data before 2017-2-21 <-(format of date given is yyyy-mm-dd)
Such as datePicker takes this format mm/dd/yy. So the date it receives is '2/1/2017'. It is out of minDate restriction.
How can I show these kind of dates or just this date 2/1/2017 on datePicker calender with same defined restrictions above jquery?

Try This
<input id="dp" />
var d = $.datepicker.parseDate("mm/dd/yy", "12/21/2017");
$('#dp').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function (date) {
return [date >= d, ''];
}
});
$('#dp').datepicker("setDate", "12/10/2017");

You cant.
The whole point of the restrictions applied with minimal and Max is to control the range of possible dates.
Either update the value to your min date or change min to the date you have

Set the date in the input field before you initialize the date picker (fiddle).
This will solve your purpose, I suppose.
HTML:
Date Picker on input field: <input type="text" id="date1" name="date1"/> <br/>
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#thedate').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',
minDate: new Date(2017, 12, 21),
maxDate: new Date(2017, 12, 28)
});
});

If datepicker already has value run onselect anyway

Currently, I can select a date and it fills my input fields with the date for 7 days and the corresponding day of the week in another series on input fields (just 3 days in example below). This is working well, although I'm sure there is a more efficient way to write the same thing with arrays, I just have no idea.
However, if I get the start date from the database on page load rather than selecting it with datepicker, it obviously doesn't trigger the onselect event and the fields don't populate. How can I get it to populate the fields in both situations?
I was thinking a function that is run when either the datepicker input has a valid value or onselect, but having never really touched JS before this little project I'm in over my head.
$(function() {
$("#StartDate").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
onSelect: function(dateStr, inst) {
var weekday=new Array(7);
weekday[0]="Monday";
weekday[1]="Tuesday";
weekday[2]="Wednesday";
weekday[3]="Thursday";
weekday[4]="Friday";
weekday[5]="Saturday";
weekday[6]="Sunday";
var Date1 = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', dateStr);
Date1.setDate(Date1.getDate('dd/mm/yy'));
$('#Date1').val(Date1.toLocaleDateString());
$('#Day1').val(weekday[Date1.getUTCDay()]);
var Date2 = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', dateStr);
Date2.setDate(Date2.getDate('dd/mm/yy') + 1);
$('#Date2').val(Date2.toLocaleDateString());
$('#Day2').val(weekday[Date2.getUTCDay()]);
var Date3 = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', dateStr);
Date3.setDate(Date3.getDate('dd/mm/yy') + 2);
$('#Date3').val(Date3.toLocaleDateString());
$('#Day3').val(weekday[Date3.getUTCDay()]);
}
});
});

What about a loop like this?
$(function() {
$("#StartDate").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
onSelect: function(dateStr, inst) {
var weekday=new Array(7);
weekday[0]="Monday";
weekday[1]="Tuesday";
weekday[2]="Wednesday";
weekday[3]="Thursday";
weekday[4]="Friday";
weekday[5]="Saturday";
weekday[6]="Sunday";
for(i=0;i<weekday.length;i++){
var Date = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', dateStr);
Date.setDate(Date.getDate('dd/mm/yy') + i); // "i" is the array index
$('#Date').val(Date.toLocaleDateString());
$('#Day').val(weekday[Date.getUTCDay()]);
}
});
});
EDIT --- I misunderstood the question.
So here is another try, since I'm still unsure to get it... But getting closer.
If #startDate is already populated onload, you wish to run the above script as if it was selected using the datepicker, right?
So assuming something like this, on PHP side, to fill the StartDate field:
<input type="text" id="startDate" value="<?php echo $date; ?>"></input>
I would get this function out of the datepicker init to be able to run it from elsewhere.
I've done a CodePen to test this.
// This is the function you had on select
var DayFill = function(dateStr, inst) {
var weekday=new Array(7);
weekday[0]="Monday";
weekday[1]="Tuesday";
weekday[2]="Wednesday";
weekday[3]="Thursday";
weekday[4]="Friday";
weekday[5]="Saturday";
weekday[6]="Sunday";
for(i=0;i<weekday.length;i++){
var Date = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', dateStr);
Date.setDate(Date.getDate('dd/mm/yy') + i); // "i" is the array index
$('#Date'+i).val(Date.toLocaleDateString());
// Fix day number to fit the array index
var daynum = Date.getUTCDay()-1;
if(daynum==-1){
daynum=6;
}
$('#Day'+i).val(weekday[daynum]);
}
}
// This is your datepicker init
$("#StartDate").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
onSelect: DayFill // Call the FillDay function, now out of this init.
});
// Onload, run the DayFill function using the input value
$(document).ready(function(){
DayFill( $("#StartDate").val() );
});

Bootstrap-datepicker, getDate not working

I'm trying to figure out how I can get the date the user has selected on the datepicker. I've tried many things mentionned on this site, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's my code:
// script for the date picker inline
$('#calendar1 div').datepicker({
keyboardNavigation: false,
todayHighlight: true
$("#calendar1 div").click(
var date = $("#calendar1 div").datepicker("getDate");
});
});
// script for the datepicker text input
$('#calendar2 .input-group.date').datepicker({
keyboardNavigation: false,
todayHighlight: true
$("#calendar2 .input-group.date").click(
var date = $("#calendar2 .input-group.date").datepicker("getDate");
});
});
The datepickers appear fine when I don't run the .click(...), so I believe the problem is there.
Thanks

You have your closing braces in the wrong place, and your handlers need to be functions, like this:
// script for the date picker inline
$('#calendar1 div').datepicker({
keyboardNavigation: false,
todayHighlight: true
});
$("#calendar1 div").click(function() {
// this is the selected element
var date = $(this).datepicker("getDate");
});
// script for the datepicker text input
$('#calendar2 .input-group.date').datepicker({
keyboardNavigation: false,
todayHighlight: true
});
$("#calendar2 .input-group.date").click(function() {
// this is the selected element
var date = $(this).datepicker("getDate");
});

I had my markup like below for start and end date:
<div class="input-daterange dateselector"
id="publishedDateSelector">
<input type="text" class="input-small form-control" /><input
type="text" class="input-small form-control" />
</div>
The following code initializing the datepicker:
$('.dateselector').datepicker({
clearBtn : true,
orientation : "top",
todayHighlight : true
});
When I tried to get the date by '#publishedDateSelector').datepicker('getDate'), it used to return a jQuery object which was not a date representation. The way I got the dates are by:
'#publishedDateSelector input:first').datepicker('getDate'); //StartDate
'#publishedDateSelector input:last').datepicker('getDate'); //EndDate

Set default time in bootstrap-datetimepicker

I want to set default time in this datetimepicker as 00:01 for the current date. Anyone tried that before? Having a tough time with it. It Seems simple.
$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
language: 'en',
format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm'
});
I need to use setDate, but I'm not sure how. I checked their code, but did not find a parameter for that.

None of the above worked for me, however I had success setting the default at time of instantiation.
JQuery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var dateNow = new Date();
$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
defaultDate:dateNow
});
});
</script>

Set a default input value as per this GitHub issue.
HTML
<input type="text" id="datetimepicker-input"></input>
jQuery
var d = new Date();
var month = d.getMonth()+1;
var day = d.getDate();
var output = d.getFullYear() + '/' +
(month<10 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' +
(day<10 ? '0' : '') + day;
$("#datetimepicker-input").val(output + " 00:01:00");
jsFiddle
JavaScript date source
EDIT - setLocalDate/setDate
var d = new Date();
var month = d.getMonth();
var day = d.getDate();
var year = d.getFullYear();
$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
language: 'en',
format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm'
});
$("#startdatetime-from").data('DateTimePicker').setLocalDate(new Date(year, month, day, 00, 01));

For use datetime from input value, just set option useCurrent to false, and set in value the date
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
useCurrent: false,
format: 'DD.MM.YYYY H:mm'
});

i tried to set default time for a picker and it worked:
$('#date2').datetimepicker({
format: 'DD-MM-YYYY 12:00:00'
});
this will save in database as : 2015-03-01 12:00:00
used for smalldatetime type in sql server

It works for me:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var dateNow = new Date();
$('#calendario').datetimepicker({
locale: 'es',
format: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
defaultDate:moment(dateNow).hours(0).minutes(0).seconds(0).milliseconds(0)
});
});
</script>

use this after initialisation
$('.form_datetime').datetimepicker('update', new Date());

Hello developers,
Please try this code
var default_date= new Date(); // or your date
$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
format: 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm', // format you want to show on datetimepicker
useCurrent:false, // default this is set to true
defaultDate: default_date
});
if you want to set default date then please set useCurrent to false otherwise setDate or defaultDate like methods will not work.

This Works for me. I have to use specially date format like this 'YY-MM-dd hh:mm' or 'YYYY-MM-dd hh:mm'
$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
format: 'YYYY-MM-dd hh:mm',
defaultDate: new Date()
});

This is my solution for your problem :
$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
language: 'en',
format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm'
}).on('dp.change', function (e) {
var specifiedDate = new Date(e.date);
if (specifiedDate.getMinutes() == 0)
{
specifiedDate.setMinutes(1);
$(this).data('DateTimePicker').date(specifiedDate);
}
});
This also work for setting a default hour or both.
Note that this code sample works with the useCurrent: false parameter too.
When the user pick a date, we check if the minute is 0 (hard-coded default value). In this case, we set a 1. Then, the user cannot select 0.

I solved my problem like this
$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
language: 'en',
format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm',
defaultDate:new Date()
});

Momentjs.com has good documentation on how to manipulate the date/time in relation to the current moment. Since Momentjs is required for the Datetimepicker, might as well use it.
var startDefault = moment().startof('day').add(1, 'minutes');
$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
defaultDate: startDefault,
language: 'en',
format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm'
});

By using Moment.js, i able to set the default time
var defaultStartTime = moment(new Date());
var _startTimeStr = "02:00 PM"
if (moment(_startTimeStr, 'HH:mm a').isValid()) {
var hr = moment(_startTimeStr, 'HH:mm a').hour();
var min = moment(_startTimeStr, 'HH:mm a').minutes();
defaultStartTime = defaultStartTime.hours(hr).minutes(min);
}
$('#StartTime').datetimepicker({
pickDate: false,
defaultDate: defaultStartTime
});

This works for me after a long hours of search , This solution is for Bootstrap datetimepicker version 4. when you have to set the default date in input field.
HTML
"input type='text' class="form-control" id='datetimepicker5' placeholder="Select to date" value='<?php echo $myDate?>'// $myDate is having value '2016-02-23' "
Note- If You are coding in php then you can set the value of the input datefield using php, but datetimepicker sets it back to current date when you apply datetimepicker() function to it. So in order to prevent it, use the given JS code
JAVASCRIPT
<script>
$('#datetimepicker5').datetimepicker({
useCurrent: false //this is important as the functions sets the default date value to the current value
,format: 'YYYY-MM-DD'
});
</script>

Change date format on datepicker

Hi i using this code to show a expiration date based on the select.
<script>
$(function(){
$("#date_picker").datepicker();
$("#Plano_Id").change(function() {
var offset = +$(this).find("option:selected").attr("title"), /* get days to add on date*/
theDate = new Date();
theDate.setDate(theDate.getDate() + offset);
$("#date_picker").datepicker("setDate", theDate);
});
});
</script>
But this returns the date in this format mm/dd/yyyy. I'm trying to show dd/mm/yyyy

For setting the format for a specific date control
$('#datepicker').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy' });
For setting it throughout your site/page, use
$.datepicker.setDefaults({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yyyy' });
//Note:Call this before initializing any date pickers

Use the dateFormat option: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#date-formats
