Why Prime React Date not showing?

[Dorischang]

I am using prime reacts component library. I'm trying to use the calendar component https://primereact.org/calendar/ but can not figure out how to set the default value (initial value) of the calendar. I tried creating a hardcoded state but it just wont display, it will only display when I pick a date on the calendar. It wont even display if I make the actual value prop in the Calendar "02/01/2023". I even tried different formats. Any help is greatly appreciated.
