Check if weekend exist in date range using javascript

Question

Wondering if anyone has a solution for checking if a weekend exist between two dates and its range.

var date1 = \'Apr 10, 2014\';
var date2 = \'Apr 14, 2014\         


        

Answer 1

It doesn't really make sense to pass in two dates, especially when they are 4 days apart. Here is one that only uses one day which makes much more sense IMHO:

var date1 = 'Apr 10, 2014';

function isWeekend(date1){
  var aDate1 = new Date(date1);
  var dayOfWeek = aDate1.getDay();

  return ((dayOfWeek == 0) || (dayOfWeek == 6));
}
