datepicker select date programmatically bootstrap

To select a date programmatically in Bootstrap's datepicker, you can use the setDate method. Here's an example:

// Assuming you have a datepicker element with the id "datepicker"
var datepicker = $('#datepicker');

// Set the date programmatically
datepicker.datepicker('setDate', new Date());

In the above code, we first select the datepicker element using its id. Then, we call the datepicker function with the 'setDate' method and pass in the desired date as a Date object.

Please note that you need to have the Bootstrap datepicker library properly included in your project for this code to work.
