Can't simply format part of a date

[vgjenks]

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how this is even formatting, without having looked at the Cleave source myself yet.

The date I'm providing is legit: 2017-10-01. So, I'm racking my brains to get to "10/2017" but Cleave date doesn't seem to be able to handle that. The best I can seem to get it to do is backwards, e.g. "2017/10".

Why not set the value="2017-10-01" backwards to match the format?

<input class="form-control cleave-input-date" placeholder="DD-MM-YYYY" value="10-10-2010">

var cleave = new Cleave('.cleave-input-date', {
    date: true,
    delimter: '-',
    datePattern: ['d','m','Y']
});
