How to disable previous dates in calendar javascript?

I am trying to disable previous dates in calendar. I am using this code like

My HTML code is below.

<input type="text" required name="date_from" name="date_from" class="mydate input-text full-width" placeholder="Departure Date" />

My script code.

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(".mydate").datepicker({
       format:'yyyy-mm-dd',
       autoclose: true
   });
    $(".flexslider").flexslider({
        animation: "fade",
        controlNav: false,
        animationLoop: true,
        directionNav: false,
        slideshow: true,
        slideshowSpeed: 5000
    });
</script>

It shows calendar without previous dates disabled.

Try this code... this will restrict the user if user submits form with date less than today's date then shows alert message to change the date.

HTML Code

    <form name="myform" onsubmit="return validateDateOfAppointment()">
    <input type="date" name="Date of Appointment" placeholder="Date of Appointment" id="Date" />
</form>

JavaScript Code

function validateDateOfAppointment(){
        var date=document.getElementById("Date").value;
        var d=new Date();
        var x=d.getFullYear()+"-"+(d.getMonth()+1)+"-"+d.getDate();
        var checkDate=date.substr(8,2);
        var equalDate=d.getDate();
        var checkMonth=date.substr(5,2);
        var equalMonth=d.getMonth();
        var checkYear=date.substr(0,4);
        var equalYear=d.getFullYear();
        if(checkMonth>=equalMonth){
            if(checkDate<equalDate){
            alert("Date cannot be less than today!! ");
            return false;
            }
        }
        else if(checkMonth<equalMonth){
            if(checkYear<equalYear){
                alert("Date cannot be less than today!! ");
                return false;
            }
        }
     }

Use bootstrap date picker. These are files to include

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.3.0/css/datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.3.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>

Use this code to disable previous dates

HTML Input field

<input id="date" data-provide="datepicker" name="date_from" >

JAVASCRIPT

var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate());

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

As from your format may be you are using bootstrap date picker. So use startDate to disable previous dates

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

Set minDate in initialization on datepicker

minDate:new Date()


$(".mydate").datepicker({
       format:'yyyy-mm-dd',
       autoclose: true,
       minDate:new Date()
   });

You need to set minDate option while applying datepicker.

Try This,

<script type="text/javascript">
$(".mydate").datepicker({
       format:'yyyy-mm-dd',
       autoclose: true,
       minDate: 0,   
}); 
</script>
