jQuery Datepicker minDate is not working in bootstrap

Question

I'm trying to set a minDate for a jquery datepicker. but itz is not working.

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    autoclose: true,
    todayHighlight: true,
    format: "dd-mm-yyyy",
    minDate: new Date(),
    clearBtn: true,
    multidate: false,
    multidateSeparator: ",",
    toggleActive: true
});

Answer 1

For jquery datepicker use:

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
    minDate: 0
});

For Bootstrap versions use:

$(".datepicker").datepicker({
     startDate: new Date()
});

Answer 2

In newer bootstrap datepicker version use below method

limiting end date **eg** +1d, +3m, +5y , -1d , -3m, -5y
limiting start date **eg**  +1d, -23d, +3m ,2y, -2y 
$('#dob').datepicker({
            fautoclose: true,
            startDate: '+1y',
   });

 $('#dob').datepicker({
            fautoclose: true,
            endDate: '-18y',
   });

Answer 3

to disable past dates use startDate instead of minDate. like this...

$('#checkinDate').datepicker({
        format: "dd/mm/yyyy",
        autoclose: true,
        startDate: new Date()
    });
