How to disable all dates prior to a specific day in the DatePicker?

I am new to using Bootstrap datepicker. I have two datepickers in my page: FromDate and ToDate. I want the all the dates that are prior to a specific date called lastDate to be disabled in the FromDate datepicker only. I have the following code:

Razor

<input type='text' asp-for="FromDate" class="form-control date-picker" placeholder="Click here..." id="fromDate" name="fromDate" required checkdate data-date-form>

jQuery

var lastDate = @ViewBag.LastDate;

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    startDate: lastDate

});

Upon implementing this, I am still able to select dates prior to the lastDate. I understand that .datepicker is referring to the datepicker class. However, I am not sure if I can use #fromDate ID in place of .datepicker.

The standard date format is: “mm/dd/yyyy”

If your lastDate does not respect that format you need to specify your specific format:

$('#fromDate').datepicker({
   format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
   startDate: '18/08/2018'
});

$('#fromDate').datepicker({
    format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
    startDate: '18/08/2018'
});
