@Kiril,

If you want to set value after the initialization you should use:

$('#').pickadate('picker').set(thing, value); 

The thing can be: clear, select, highlight, view, min, max, disable, enable, interval. In this case you have to use 'select'.

$('#').pickadate('picker').set('select', [2015, 3, 20]); 
$('#').pickadate('picker').set('select', new Date(2015, 3, 30));
$('#').pickadate('picker').set('select', '2016-04-20', { format: 'yyyy-mm-dd' });
$('#').pickadate('picker').set('clear');

You can see good example in lemons snippet. @lemons, I think it's very good idea to add this to MDB docs, I'll create a task for our team. Thank you for your opinion.

You have to use the "picker" directly to call the set method after initialization. I do load the date before initalization most of the time, as it keeps my logic more clean.

@MDB team: you could add this to your docs

Hi @Kiril,

@lemons is right. To set default date you should to use data-value. You can set it in your html code or via jQuery. Link: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/jquery/forms/date-picker/#pre-fill-values

Best,
