I'm wondering if there is a better way to initialize the plugin to a certain date (like defaultDate) but without it auto-populating the field. Currently I'm doing it like this:
<input type="text" class='form-control' id='dob' name='birth_date' placeholder="aaaa-mm-jj" data-allow-input='true' data-max-date='today' data-default-date='2002-08-20' required>
flatpickr('#dob', {
onReady() {
this.input.value = '';
}
});As this is a date of birth field, I'd like to start the calendar at 15 years ago since nearly all of our users are age 15+ (the value in the HTML is dynamically generated on server-side render). However I do not want the field to be populated with that date upon page load/instantiation.
