How to get value of a DatePicker Cypress

Thanks to this post How to get the text input field value to a const and log that value in Cypress.io
I found the answer, it seems I should treat the datepiker input as a text input.
cy.get('input[name="Date"]').invoke('val').then((text) => {
expect('08/05/2019').to.equal(text);
});

I am doing some E2E test using cypress and I want to get the date that appears on a DatePicker element from my react app. I tried this but both return an empty string:
cy.get('input[name="Date"]').invoke('attr', 'value').then((text) => { expect('08/05/2019').to.equal(text); });
cy.get('input[name="Date"]').invoke(text).then((text) => { expect('08/05/2019').to.equal(text); });
I would like to get the value of this DatePicker which is always today by default.
