How to use setTime function

[lymine1996]

I would like the time slider stops at the position of the last day (showing the most recent map) after refreshing the page. Should I use control.setTime("Date") ? I didn't find the usage of this function in examples given but it appeared in the test file. Somehow it doesn't work in my code. Am I using it in the right way?

    var slider = L.timelineSliderControl({
        formatOutput: function(date){
            return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
        },
        steps:150,
        position: 'topleft',
        showTicks: false
    });
    map.addControl(slider);
            
    var illinois_counties_ts = L.timeline(illinois_counties,{style: styleFunc,
        waitToUpdateMap: true, onEachFeature: onEachFeature_illinois_counties});
    slider.setTime("05-05-2020");
    illinois_counties_ts.addTo(map);`

setTime takes a number, which would be something like new Date("05-05-2020").getTime()
