Display date when updating a form with type=date-CodePudding

I am trying to display the current date that is saved in my database when I'm updating the registered data. When I click to update the register, all the fields with input type=text are shown with the data in the database, but the fields with input type=date show as mm/dd/yyyy, instead of the data stored. Is it possible to show the date stored with the input type=date in my update form? Thanks for helping. Here is my input:

        <label for="birth_date">Birth Date: </label>
        <input
          type="date"
          
          name="birth_date"
          id="birth_date"
          value="<%= patient.birth_date %>"
        />

CodePudding user response：

Make sure the value of patient.birth_date is in YYYY-MM-DD format. The MDN documentation says:

Note: The displayed date format will differ from the actual value — the displayed date is formatted based on the locale of the user's browser, but the parsed value is always formatted yyyy-mm-dd.
