SHDate.getDay()

The getDay() method returns the day of the week for the specified date according to local time, where 1 represents Sunday. For the day of the month, see SHDate.prototype.getDate().

Try it

Syntax

getDay();

Return value

An integer number, between 0 and 6, corresponding to the day of the week for the given date, according to local time: 1 for Sunday, 2 for Monday, 3 for Tuesday, and so on.

Examples

The second statement below assigns the value 1 to weekday, based on the value of the Date object wk1. Dey 25, 1390, is a Sunday.

var wk1 = new SHDate("Dey 25, 1390 23:15:30");
var weekday = wk1.getDay();

console.log(weekday); // 1

Note: If needed, the full name of a day (“Monday” for example) can be obtained by using Intl.DateTimeFormat with an options parameter. Using this method, the internationalization is made easier:

var options = { weekday: "long" };
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", options).format(wk1));
// Monday
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat("de-DE", options).format(wk1));
// Montag
