bootstrap 4 datepicker, calendar icon don't show up-Twitter bootstrap

I am trying to use datapicker with Bootstrap 4, the input display correctly the big calendar where I can select the date, the date format is also correct as I expected, the only thing I can’t display is the little calendar icon next to the input field.
Can you please suggest?

Here is the code:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
    $('[name="date"]')
        .datepicker({
            format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'
        })
        .on('changeDate', function(e) {
            // do somwthing here
        });
});

    <form id="demoForm" action="success.html" method="POST">
        <div class="form-group row">
            <label class="col-sm-3 col-form-label">Date</label>
            <div class="col-md-4">
                <input type="text" class="form-control" name="date" />
            </div>
        </div>
     </form>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.8.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

    I found the solution using font-awsome.css, without using input type="date" and only adding this html tag after the text input <i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>.

    here is the code:

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
    $('[name="date"]')
        .datepicker({
            format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'
        })
        .on('changeDate', function(e) {
            // do somwthing here
        });
});
    .fa {
    position: absolute;
    right: 25px;
    top: 11px;
    font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
    font-size: inherit;
    text-rendering: auto;
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
