How to set default value to the input[type=”date”] [duplicate]

The date should take the format YYYY-MM-DD. Single digit days and months should be padded with a 0. January is 01.

From the documentation:

A string representing a date.

Value: A valid full-date as defined in [RFC 3339], with the additional qualification that the year component is four or more digits representing a number greater than 0.

Your code should be altered to:

<input type="date" value="2013-01-08">
