How to disable past dates in calendar in date-picker in javascript/jquery?

I am working on a website in which I want the disable the past dates in calendar.

The HTML and JQuery codes which I have used in order to make the calendar are:

$("#startdate_datepicker").datepicker({numberOfMonths:[1, 2]});
$("#enddate_datepicker").datepicker({numberOfMonths:[1, 2]});
<link href="https://cdn.bootcss.com/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<div class="dates">
   <div class="start_date" style="width:50%;margin-right:3%;">
      <input readonly="readonly" class="form-control start_date  mb-4" type="text" placeholder="start date" id="startdate_datepicker">
   </div>
   <div class="end_date" style="width:50%;margin-left:3%;">
      <input readonly="readonly" class="form-control  end_date  mb-4" type="text" placeholder="end date" id="enddate_datepicker">
   </div>
</div>



Problem Statement:

I am wondering what changes I should make in the code above so that after selecting the start date, the dates before the start date should get disabled on selecting the end date.

You can use the option=beforeShowDay of JQuery UI, then customize the styles for each day like below demo:

As JQuery UI Guide for beforeShowDay:

A function that takes a date as a parameter and must return an array with:

[0]: true/false indicating whether or not this date is selectable
[1]: a CSS class name to add to the date's cell or "" for the default presentation
[2]: an optional popup tooltip for this date


let startDateUI = $("#startdate_datepicker").datepicker({
  numberOfMonths:[1, 2],
  todayHighlight: true,
  beforeShowDay: function (calDate) {
      return calDate - new Date() < 0 ? [false, '', ''] : [true, '','']
  }
});
$("#enddate_datepicker").datepicker({
  numberOfMonths:[1, 2],
  todayHighlight: true,
  beforeShowDay: function (calDate) {
      let selectedStartDate = $( "#startdate_datepicker" ).datepicker( "getDate" )
      return calDate - selectedStartDate < 0 ? [false, 'disable-day', 'not available day!!!'] : [true, '','']
  }
});
.disable-day{
  background-color:red;
}
<link href="https://cdn.bootcss.com/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<div class="dates">
   <div class="start_date" style="width:50%;margin-right:3%;">
      <input readonly="readonly" class="form-control start_date  mb-4" type="text" placeholder="start date" id="startdate_datepicker">
   </div>
   <div class="end_date" style="width:50%;margin-left:3%;">
      <input readonly="readonly" class="form-control  end_date  mb-4" type="text" placeholder="end date" id="enddate_datepicker">
   </div>
</div>

Use .datepicker("option", "minDate", <value of start date>) to set the earliest selectable date. "maxDate" will allow you to set the latest selectable date.
