How to set date format as ‘dd-mm-yyyy’ in jQuery datepicker?
Solution:
By Setting “dateFormat” option allows you to set the format of selected dates using a variety of short-hand references.
$('#myVariable').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy'
});
The format of dates can be a combination of any of the following characters:
| d | day of month (single digit where applicable) |
| dd | day of month (two digits) |
| m | month of year (single digit where applicable) |
| mm | month of year (two digits) |
| y | year (two digits) |
| yy | year (four digits) |
| D | short day name |
| DD | full day name |
| M | short month name |
| MM | long month name |
