 <div class="row">

                                <div class="col-md-4">

                                    <label>Surf Date <span class="required">*</span></label>

                                </div>

                                <div class="col-md-8">

                                    <div class="selectWrap pos-rel">

                                        <input class="form-control" type="date" name="surf_date" id="datepicker"

                                            value="{{ old('surf_date'),$posts->surf_start_date }}" required />

                                    </div>

                                </div>

                            </div>

but it does not working, in input field it shows mm/dd/yyyy by default

i have already used other methods like

                {{date_format(date_create($posts->surf_start_date),"m/d/Y")}}

                {{date('m/d/yy', strtotime($posts->surf_start_date))}}

                {{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($posts->surf_start_date)->format('m/d/Y')}}

please help me out. thanks in advance

My Answer:
You can use the `old()` helper function in Blade to set the default value of an input field. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

php



In this example, `$dateFromController` is the variable that contains the date value passed from the controller in the format '2020-11-24'. The `old('date', $dateFromController)` function will check if there is any old input for the 'date' field, and if not, it will use the value from the controller.

Make sure to replace `'date'` with the actual name of the input field in your form.
