MDBDatePicker props

*_Expected behavior_*I am trying to transfer a suggested date in through props, so that the datepicker starts on that date if it has been preselected. The date comes from the database.

*_Actual behavior_*I just get today's date every time. I am not actually passing the date for some reason either. the console out, shows {} empty. I can change the parent getpickervalue to what?

*_Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)_*Parent code:

import TargetDate from './targetDate'

<... Date2Context.Provider value={{ state2, dispatch2 }}...> <...TargetDate value="2020-06-27T21:44:00.000Z"/...> <.../Date2Context.Provider...>

Component code: './targetDate'import React, { useContext } from 'react';import { Date2Context } from './todos.js'import { MDBDatePicker } from 'mdbreact';

function DatePickerPage(props) {console.log('datesent:',props) const {state2, dispatch2} = useContext(Date2Context); const changeInputValue = (newValue) => { dispatch2({ type: 'UPDATE_INPUT', data: newValue,}); }; return( changeInputValue(e)}/> );};

export default DatePickerPage;
