Set date in bootstrap datetimepicker input

Question

I used the datetimepicker from: http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Installing/

There no provide how to use function (date, show, hide, etc) so I don't know how to set the value for input using datetimepicker using date function which says:

date([newDate])

Takes string, Date, moment, null parameter and sets the components model current moment to it.

I tried

$('#datetimepicker2').datetimepicker(
    date: function() { return new Date(1434544649384); }
);

Where 1434544649384 is a timestamp.

But it doesn't work and doesn't update input text/value...

Answer 1

quote from http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Functions/

Note All functions are accessed via the data attribute e.g. $('#datetimepicker').data("DateTimePicker").FUNCTION()

So you can update date like following:

$('#datetimepicker2').data("DateTimePicker").date(new Date());

Answer 2

The correct syntax is :

$('#datetimepicker2').datetimepicker({
    date: new Date(1434544882775)
});

Answer 3

Had to add, I was able to solve it.

$('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({});
$('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").date(moment(new Date ).format('DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm'));
