Set default time in bootstrap-datetimepicker

None of the above worked for me, however I had success setting the default at time of instantiation.

JQuery

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        var dateNow = new Date();
        $('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
            defaultDate:dateNow
        });
    });
</script>

Set a default input value as per this GitHub issue.

HTML

<input type="text" id="datetimepicker-input"></input>

jQuery

var d = new Date();

var month = d.getMonth()+1;
var day = d.getDate();

var output = d.getFullYear() + '/' +
(month<10 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' +
(day<10 ? '0' : '') + day;

$("#datetimepicker-input").val(output + " 00:01:00");

JavaScript date source

EDIT - setLocalDate/setDate

var d = new Date();
var month = d.getMonth();
var day = d.getDate();
var year = d.getFullYear();

$('#startdatetime-from').datetimepicker({
    language: 'en',
    format: 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm'
});
$("#startdatetime-from").data('DateTimePicker').setLocalDate(new Date(year, month, day, 00, 01));
