Determine if a date is a Saturday or a Sunday using JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to determine if a date is a Saturday or Sunday using JavaScript?

Do you have the code for this?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible, we can write a JavaScript code for that using JavaScript Date object.

Please use following JavaScript code.

var d = new Date()

document.write(d.getDay())

We can write a function to return the weekend in flag like below, You can more customize the function to pass date. Or different return values for every day.

    isItWeekEnd = function() {
    var d = new Date();
    console.log(d.getDay());
    var dateValue = d.getDay(); 
    // dateValue : 0 = Sunday
    // dateValue : 6 = Saturday
    if(dateValue == 0 || dateValue == 6)
        return true;
    else 
        return false;  
}
