In Javascript, how do I get the number of weeks in a month? I can\'t seem to find code for this anywhere.

Answer 1

Weeks start on Sunday

This ought to work even when February doesn't start on Sunday.

function weekCount(year, month_number) {

    // month_number is in the range 1..12

    var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number-1, 1);
    var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);

    var used = firstOfMonth.getDay() + lastOfMonth.getDate();

    return Math.ceil( used / 7);
}

Weeks start on Monday

function weekCount(year, month_number) {

    // month_number is in the range 1..12

    var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number-1, 1);
    var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);

    var used = firstOfMonth.getDay() + 6 + lastOfMonth.getDate();

    return Math.ceil( used / 7);
}

Weeks start another day

function weekCount(year, month_number, startDayOfWeek) {
  // month_number is in the range 1..12

  // Get the first day of week week day (0: Sunday, 1: Monday, ...)
  var firstDayOfWeek = startDayOfWeek || 0;

  var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number-1, 1);
  var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);
  var numberOfDaysInMonth = lastOfMonth.getDate();
  var firstWeekDay = (firstOfMonth.getDay() - firstDayOfWeek + 7) % 7;

  var used = firstWeekDay + numberOfDaysInMonth;

  return Math.ceil( used / 7);
}
