Pick a date range in single Bootstrap Datepicker

I am using Bootstrap DatePicker v1.8.0
Need to select range in a single bootstrap and I need the input value to be arranged in ascending order (example below).

On changing the date, the date array is appended with the new date. Get the dates and parse it in changeDate event listener and set it again.
$('#date').datepicker({
format: "M yyyy",
startView: 1,
minViewMode: 1,
maxViewMode: 2,
multidate: true,
multidateSeparator: "-",
autoClose:true,
}).on("changeDate",function(event){
var dates = event.dates, elem=$('#date');
if(elem.data("selecteddates")==dates.join(",")) return; //To prevernt recursive call, that lead to lead the maximum stack in the browser.
if(dates.length>2) dates=dates.splice(dates.length-1);
dates.sort(function(a,b){return new Date(a).getTime()-new Date(b).getTime()});
elem.data("selecteddates",dates.join(",")).datepicker('setDates',dates);
});
function getDates()
{
console.log($("#date").datepicker("getDates"));
console.log($("#date").datepicker("getUTCDates"));
console.log($("#date").data('datepicker').getFormattedDate('yyyy/mm'));
}

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.8.0/css/bootstrap-datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<input type="text" id="date"><button onclick="getDates()">Get Dates</button>
To get the dates,
$("#date").datepicker("getDates") - Returns an array of selected start and end dates in local time.
$("#date").datepicker("getUTCDates") - Returns an array of selected start and end dates in UTC time.
$("#date").data('datepicker').getFormattedDate('yyyy/mm') - Returns the concatenation of start and end dates as strings formatted to the given format and joined by the multidateSeparator.

Option disabledDates from bootstrap datetimepicker not working

I'm using the bootstrap datetimepicker for my calendar. My code looks like this:
var sundaysDisabled = [
moment("17/12/2017"),
moment("7/1/2018"),
moment("14/1/2018"),
moment("21/1/2018"),
moment("28/1/2018"),
moment("4/2/2018")
];
$("#form_dateTakeout").datetimepicker({
inline: true,
format: 'L',
daysOfWeekDisabled: daysDisabled,
disabledDates: sundaysDisabled,
date: selectDate,
minDate: tomorrow
});
I've found the option disabledDates in the documentation.
The problem is I can still select these days, I'm only getting this warning:
But I think that it can't be the problem, am I right?

You are getting Deprecation Warning because your date string are not in a recognized format (ISO 8601 or RFC 2822), you have to use moment(String, String). In your case, you can have something like moment("17/12/2017", 'D/M/YYYY').
To set a default date to the datetimepicker, use defaultDate option instead of date (the first is documented while the latter isn't, even if it seems that both work).
Be sure that your defaultDate, minDate, disabledDates and daysOfWeekDisabled are coherent, see also useCurrent docs.
Set the defaultDate to an enabled date to prevent something like:
Uncaught Tried 7 times to find a valid date
Here a full example:
var sundaysDisabled = [
moment("17/12/2017", 'D/M/YYYY'),
moment("7/1/2018", 'D/M/YYYY'),
moment("14/1/2018", 'D/M/YYYY'),
moment("21/1/2018", 'D/M/YYYY'),
moment("28/1/2018", 'D/M/YYYY'),
moment("4/2/2018", 'D/M/YYYY')
];
var tomorrow = moment().add(1, 'd').startOf('d');
var daysDisabled = [3]; //e.g. disable all wednesday
var selectDate = moment().add(1, 'week').day(2); // e.g. select next tuesday
$("#form_dateTakeout").datetimepicker({
inline: true,
format: 'L',
daysOfWeekDisabled: daysDisabled,
disabledDates: sundaysDisabled,
defaultDate: selectDate,
minDate: tomorrow
});

<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div id="form_dateTakeout"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

The problem is in moment() function usage.
Pay attention:
moment("17/12/2017").isValid() --> returns false
moment("12/17/2017").isValid() --> returns true
Alternatively you can use this format:
moment("17/12/2017", "DD/MM/YYYY").isValid() --> returns true

Changing the format of date after picking from datepicker after SAPUI5

I have a datepicker from which I want to extract the date and display in a label. Currently the date is getting displayed in the format MM/DD/YYYY but I want it in the format MMM dd, yyyy (Nov 17, 2017). Below is the code :
screenDate=view.byId("screeningDate").getValue();
var date = view.byId("__date");
date.setText(screenDate);
XML :
<HBox alignItems="Center" renderType="Bare">
<Label text="Date of Screening" width="50%"/>
<DatePicker class="sapUiLargeMarginBegin" width="50%" id="screeningDate"/>
</HBox>

In addition to Naveen's answer here's the solution with your existing code:
screenDate=view.byId("screeningDate").getValue();
var date = view.byId("__date");
// Make date object out of screenDate
var dateObject = new Date(screenDate);
// SAPUI5 date formatter
var dateFormat = sap.ui.core.format.DateFormat.getDateInstance({pattern : "MMM dd,YYYY" });
// Format the date
var dateFormatted = dateFormat.format(dateObject);
date.setText(dateFormatted);

FYI, By getting view controls and updating the property in it is not good. It will be good if you have a model.
Solution for your problem is below,
<Label text="{
path: '/date',
type: 'sap.ui.model.type.Date',
formatOptions: {
style: 'medium',
pattern: 'MMM dd, yyyy'
}}"/>
<DatePicker dateValue="{/date}"/>
And in the controller I have a JSONModel as below,
onInit : function() {
this.model = new JSONModel({
date : new Date(0)
});
this.getView().setModel(this.model);
}

Display 'Today' instead of date

I am using angular and moment.js to display dates in my app. If the user chooses a date other than today I want the format to be '12:00 PM Sat 21st Nov' which I have working when the user clicks a day from my calendar with amDateFormat
the following:
$scope.setDate = function(day){
var myDate = day.date;
$scope.date = moment($scope.date).set(
{
'year': myDate.year(),
'month': myDate.month(),
'date': myDate.date()
}).toDate();
}
<div> {{ date | amDateFormat:'h:mm A ddd Do MMM'}}</div>
If the date chosen is today how do I display the date to be '12:00 PM Today' instead?

I am not familiar with angular. However you can use moment calendar for today date.
From the doc you can tweak the calendar like this:
moment.locale('en', {
calendar : {
sameDay : 'LT [Today]'
}
});
And then call moment().calendar();
Here is a snippet with an alternative way of doing it assuming you are using a version that is at least 2.10.5:
var divTime = $('#time');
var time = moment().calendar(null, {
sameDay: 'LT [Today]'
});
divTime.text(time);

<div id="time">

Date object in meteor and autoform

I have problem with input Date validation on Meteor, AutoForm and Simple-schema .
If its turn on Chrome auto date picker , validation can't recognize Date format or type like is in schema (type: Date) or from input (type="date") "08/19/2014"
If its turn off Chrome date picker, and when i use bootstrap3-datepicker and with moment js set format to "2014-08-19" like they wrote, I have same Date validation problem.
What kind date format can be correct validated in schema with type: Date ?
Which date picker is best to give me correct date format and type and can you please give me an example because in meteor-autoform-example i saw same problem.
Example:
.js
schema: {
'orderDate': {
type: Date,
label: "OrderDate",
optional: true
}
.html
{{>afQuickField name="orderDate" type="date" }}
or with {{#autoForm}}
<div class="form-group {{#if afFieldIsInvalid name='orderDate'}}has-error{{/if}}">
{{> afFieldLabel name='orderDate'}}
<span class="help-block">*Requered</span>
{{> afFieldInput name='orderDate' id="OrderDate"}}
{{#if afFieldIsInvalid name='orderDate'}}
<span class="help-block">{{{afFieldMessage name='orderDate'}}}</span>
{{/if}}
</div>
or with bootstrap3-datepicker
<input type="date" id="orderPickerDate" class="form-control" />
Thank you.

The date format is a combination of d, dd, D, DD, m, mm, M, MM, yy, yyyy.
d, dd: Numeric date, no leading zero and leading zero, respectively. Eg, 5, 05.
D, DD: Abbreviated and full weekday names, respectively. Eg, Mon, Monday.
m, mm: Numeric month, no leading zero and leading zero, respectively. Eg, 7, 07.
M, MM: Abbreviated and full month names, respectively. Eg, Jan, January
yy, yyyy: 2- and 4-digit years, respectively. Eg, 12, 2012.
You can specify this format on data-date-format, but a better place to add format is in the schema:
some_date: {
type: Date,
autoform: {
type: "bootstrap-datepicker",
datePickerOptions: {
autoclose: true,
format: 'dd M yyyy'
}
}
},
For example, dd M yyyy give you 27 Apr 2017.
I found the documentation at http://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html

Just looking at the documentation for the original bootstrap-datepicker that I think aldeed's package just wraps, I think you'd want something like:
{{> afQuickField name='orderDate' type="bootstrap-datepicker" data-date-format="dd MM yyyy"}}
or
{{> afFieldInput name='orderDate' type="bootstrap-datepicker" data-date-format="dd MM yyyy"}}
Specify the date format you want with the data-date-format attribute.
