I want to make a range date picker with bootstrap with single calendar. Now I have it but with two calendars

$('#datepicker').datepicker({
});

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.8.0/css/bootstrap-datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<div class="input-daterange input-group" id="datepicker">
    <input type="text" class="input-sm form-control" name="start" />
    <span class="input-group-addon">to</span>
    <input type="text" class="input-sm form-control" name="end" />
</div>


<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.8.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

Here is an answer for everybody who need it

 $('#date').datepicker({
    startView: 0,
    minViewMode: 0,
    maxViewMode: 2,
    multidate: true,
    multidateSeparator: "-",
    autoClose: true,
    beforeShowDay: highlightRange,
  }).on("changeDate", function(event) {
    var dates = event.dates,
        elem = $('#date');
    if (elem.data("selecteddates") == dates.join(",")) return;
    if (dates.length > 2) dates = dates.splice(dates.length - 1);
    dates.sort(function(a, b) { return new Date(a).getTime() - new Date(b).getTime() });
    elem.data("selecteddates", dates.join(",")).datepicker('setDates', dates);
  });

  function highlightRange(date) {
    var selectedDates = $('#date').datepicker('getDates');
    if (selectedDates.length === 2 && date >= selectedDates[0] && date <= selectedDates[1]) {
      return 'highlighted';
    }
    return '';
  }

  .highlighted {
    background-color: #99ccff;
  }
