title: Laravel collective how to set Form::date default value based on the object value
body: <p>I have my edit route which displays an edit form view to allow me to edit details for specific member.</p>
  
  <p>I have forms such as </p>
  
  <pre><code>{{Form::text('first_name', $member-&gt;first_name, ['class' =&gt; 'form-control'])}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For all Form::text it is easy to set default value as all I do is fetching first_name value from $member object.</p>
  
  <p>How can I apply the same thing for my Form::date?</p>
  
  <pre><code>{{Form::date('dob', '\Carbon\Carbon::now()')}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried adding parameter similar to ::text but it does not work. Also the database value uses format of YYYY-MM-DD, whereas Form::date displays YYYY/MM/DD</p>
