Change the date format to yyyy-mm-dd in Datepicker

I am using Datepicker for my HTML field . The HTML code is : 

<input type="text" id="from-datepicker"/>

The Jquery code to set and get the date picker fields is : 

 $("#from-datepicker").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'});
            $("#from-datepicker").on("change", function () {
                var fromdate = $(this).val();
                alert(fromdate);
            });

This code, however, displays the field in 'mm-dd-yyyy' format. Can someone tell me where am I going wrong ?

My imported CDNs are : 

 <script type="text/javascript"
            src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.6.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
          href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.6.1/css/bootstrap-datepicker3.min.css">

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE 2018

As of bootstrap-datepicker version 1.6.4, setting data-date-format attribute to 'yyyy-mm-dd' on an input element works as well.

For e.g.

  <input data-provide="datepicker" name="date_selected" data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd" placeholder="Select date" required>

The option is format

You can set a default value for all your app:

$.fn.datepicker.defaults.format = 'yy-mm-dd';

Or: 

$("#from-datepicker").datepicker({format: 'yy-mm-dd'});

Yes, change dateFormat to just format and you need 4 sets of 'y's

Sample code:

<script   src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.3.min.js"   integrity="sha256-a23g1Nt4dtEYOj7bR+vTu7+T8VP13humZFBJNIYoEJo="   crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-1q8mTJOASx8j1Au+a5WDVnPi2lkFfwwEAa8hDDdjZlpLegxhjVME1fgjWPGmkzs7" crossorigin="anonymous">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.6.1/css/bootstrap-datepicker3.min.css">
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
    $("#from-datepicker").datepicker({ 
        format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'
    });
    $("#from-datepicker").on("change", function () {
        var fromdate = $(this).val();
        alert(fromdate);
    });
}); 
</script>
<input type="text" id="from-datepicker"/>

See the format option: http://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html#format

toDisplay: function (date, format, language) to convert date object to string, that will be stored in input field
toValue: function (date, format, language) to convert string object to date, that will be used in date selection
