how to determine if date is weekend in javascript [closed]

Answer 1

Update 2020

There are now multiple ways to achieve this.

1) Using the day method to get the days from 0-6:

const day = yourDateObject.day();
// or const day = yourDateObject.get('day');
const isWeekend = (day === 6 || day === 0);    // 6 = Saturday, 0 = Sunday

2) Using the isoWeekday method to get the days from 1-7:

const day = yourDateObject.isoWeekday();
// or const day = yourDateObject.get('isoWeekday');
const isWeekend = (day === 6 || day === 7);    // 6 = Saturday, 7 = Sunday
