Solution

  • Use defaultDate like shown on the snippet. defaultDate will set the calender to given date. setDefaultDate will choose and highlight the given date.

    $(function () {
    var field = $('#calendar')[0];
    var date = new Date(2005,0,1);

    var pika = new Pikaday({
        field: field,
        defaultDate:date,
        setDefaultDate: date,
        yearRange: [1968, 2005],
        onSelect: function () {
            console.log('selected');
        },
        onOpen: function () {
            console.log('open');
        },

        onClose: function () {
            console.log('closed');
        }
    });

});
