Nette Form - set default value on text (type date) in FormFactory

Question

I have no idea how to set, or if it is even possible to set default value on text (type date).

Here is my FormFactory:

$form->addText('category_priority', 'Prioritizovať do')
        ->setHtmlType('date')
        ->setDefaultValue( $date )   // select from db in format Y-m-d ('2020-12-01')
        ->setHtmlAttribute('class', 'add');

I tried changing formats, because meaby it wont take the original one with this, but no luck:

use Nette\Utils\DateTime;
$original = DateTime::from($priority);
$priority  = $original->format('d. m. Y');

Did somebody encountered same problem?

Answer 1

Have you tried this:

    $form->addText('category_priority', 'Prioritizova? do')
    ->setType('date')
    ->setDefaultValue((new \DateTime)->format('Y-m-d'));
