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

I guess this is the one what @MattBurland sugested for doing it without a loop

function isWeekend(start,end){
  start = new Date(start);
  if (start.getDay() == 0 || start.getDay() == 6) return true;
  end = new Date(end);

  var day_diff = (end - start) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
  var end_day = start.getDay() + day_diff;    
  if (end_day > 5) return true;

  return false;
}
