Nativebase: DatePicker: show default date instead of "Select Date" if placeHolderText prop isn't specified

[54vanya]

node, npm, react-native, react and native-base version

node: v9.8.0
react: 16.3.2
native-base: 2.6.1

Expected behaviour

Showing default date if placeHolderText prop isn't specified

Actual behaviour

Picker shows "Select Date" string

Is the bug present in both iOS and Android or in any one of them?

checked only in Android, can't test in ios

If anybody is still facing problem, then one use this hack:
Assign default date to placeholder text

placeHolderText={this.formatDate(your_default_date)}

export const formatDate = date => {
  return `${date.getMonth() + 1}/${date.getDate()}/${date.getFullYear()}`;
};

Do this, I'm using native base 2.12.1.
<DatePicker defaultDate={value} placeHolderText={!value ? placeholder : null} ... />
