Bootstrap DateTimePicker, setting minDate not working

Question

I've seen answers that use either, new Date() or moment() to declare minDate and been marked as the answer but in my case neither worked. E.g. How to disable past dates from today in bootstrap datetimepicker?

The code is:

$('.datePicker').datetimepicker({
    //format: "HH:ii P, dd M yyyy",
    //format: 'YYYY-MM-DD',
    //minDate: new Date(),
    //minDate: moment(),
    minuteStep: 1,
    showMeridian: true,
    todayBtn: true
});

Bootstrap v3.3.7 is being used and it looks like:

As you can see the dates prior to the 16th (today) aren't being disabled. Could this be due to my bootstrap version?

Answer 1

minDate is for eonasdan-datetimepicker, while tarruda's datetimepicker uses startDate:

Options

These are the default options for initializing the widget:

$.fn.datetimepicker.defaults = {
  startDate: -Infinity,      // set a minimum date
  endDate: Infinity          // set a maximum date
};
