Set Current Date as Selected in Bootstrap datepicker

I am using bootstrap-datepicker in my code. How Do I select current date in JavaScript and show it as selected?

After research this is code I am using but current day does not appear as selected:

var today = moment();

datepicker1.datepicker({
    endDate: today.toDate()
}); 

datepicker2.datepicker({
    startDate: today .toDate(),
    endDate: today.toDate()
});

datepicker1.datepicker('setDate', today.toDate());
datepicker2.datepicker('setDate', today.toDate());

datepicker1.datepicker('update');  //update the bootstrap datepicker
datepicker2.datepicker('update');

With this you can highlight current date!

$('#datetimepicker6').datetimepicker({ 
  todayHighlight:true
})

$(document).ready(function() {
  var date = new Date();
  var today = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());
  var end = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());

  $('#datepicker1').datepicker({
format: "mm/dd/yyyy",
todayHighlight: true,
startDate: today,
endDate: end,
autoclose: true
  });
  $('#datepicker2').datepicker({
format: "mm/dd/yyyy",
todayHighlight: true,
startDate: today,
endDate: end,
autoclose: true
  });

  $('#datepicker1,#datepicker2').datepicker('setDate', today);
});

This works for me

$("#order_date").datepicker( {
   autoclose: true,
});

var orderDate = '2021-03-05';
$('#order_date').datepicker('update', new Date(Date.parse(orderDate)));

The problem in selecting currentdate when using minDate : moment().
The solution is to use below code for assigning datetimepicker:

$('#datetimepicker6').datetimepicker({ 
    format: 'DD/MM/YYYY', 
    minDate: moment().millisecond(0).second(0).minute(0).hour(0),
    clear : false 
});

No idea about the code you are using and without HTML markup doesn't make much sense,

Here is a working example of what you are after

$(document).ready(function() {
  var date = new Date();
  var today = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());
  var end = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());

  $('#datepicker1').datepicker({
format: "mm/dd/yyyy",
todayHighlight: true,
startDate: today,
endDate: end,
autoclose: true
  });
  $('#datepicker2').datepicker({
format: "mm/dd/yyyy",
todayHighlight: true,
startDate: today,
endDate: end,
autoclose: true
  });

  $('#datepicker1,#datepicker2').datepicker('setDate', today);
});

<div class="panel">
  <fieldset>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="datepicker1">Date</label>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" id="datepicker1">
    </div>
  </fieldset>
  <fieldset>
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="datepicker2">Date2</label>
      <input type="text" class="form-control" id="datepicker2">
    </div>
  </fieldset>
</div>
  </div>
</div>
