js variable or user input to change DateFormat in bootstrap date picker using

Question

I am using a bootstarp datepicker :DatepickerLink

but I need to change the format on the basis of a variable ,how to do that?

I am trying to use this code

if (sessionStorage.Dateformat && sessionStorage.Dateformat != '') {
                    dateFormat = sessionStorage.Dateformat;

                }
else{
      dateFormat='dd-M-yyyy';
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  $('#sand .input-group.date').datepicker({
                    format: dateFormat,
                    todayHighlight: true
                });

but it is saying invalid date format ///////For Information This way is working

 $('#sand .input-group.date').datepicker({
                        format: 'dd-M-yyyy',
                        todayHighlight: true
                    });

Check format of date-picker (eg: dd-mm-yyyy) and get your input in the same format to not get the error. — Afshin Ghazi

date format is correct but the it is not taking the way i wan like by setting format:dateFormat where datefomat is a variable — Tanmay

Perhaps its taking it as a String. Use Javascript to ensure conversion correct format console.log output and paste here. Also I am not sure dateFormat='dd-M-yyyy' actually exists. One thing is for sure the format you are passing is not the correct format, so mess around with that and things will work out. — Afshin Ghazi
