Disable past dates in bootstrap date picker

I have used the date input form derived from:

Youderian, C. How to Add a Date Picker to a Bootstrap Form. FormDen. [Blog]. 2015-10-27.

But I am unable to disable the past dates. I tried the following; according to an issue in GitHub, but it didn't work for me.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var date_input = $('input[name="date"]'); //our date input has the name "date"
  var container = $('.bootstrap-iso form').length > 0 ? $('.bootstrap-iso form').parent() : "body";
  date_input.datepicker({
    format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
    container: container,
    todayHighlight: true,
    autoclose: true,
  })
})
$(function() {
  var nowDate = new Date();
  var today = new Date(nowDate.getFullYear(), nowDate.getMonth(),
    nowDate.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0);
  $('#date').datepicker({
    startDate: today
  });
})

Try with ease : Use minDate

var date = new Date();
var today = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());

$('#date').datepicker({ 
    minDate: today
});

You can either add startDate to the config when you first convert it to a date-picker field or you can set the property using setStartDate.

Pick any of the two.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var dateInput = $('input[name="date"]'); // Our date input has the name "date"
  var container = $('.bootstrap-iso form').length > 0 ? $('.bootstrap-iso form').parent() : 'body';
  dateInput.datepicker({
    format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
    container: container,
    todayHighlight: true,
    autoclose: true,
    startDate: truncateDate(new Date()) // <-- THIS WORKS
  });

  $('#date').datepicker('setStartDate', truncateDate(new Date())); // <-- SO DOES THIS
});

function truncateDate(date) {
  return new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), date.getDate());
}

you can disable the past dates by setting startDate property. No need for separate function.

date_input.datepicker({
    format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
    container: container,
    todayHighlight: true,
    autoclose: true,
    startDate: new Date()
})

You can use startDate and endDate e.g. '+2d', '-2m'

In your CodePen link:

date_input.datepicker({
    format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
    container: container,
    todayHighlight: true,
    autoclose: true,
    startDate: '-2d',
    endDate: '+2d'
})
