DatePicker configuring the first day of week

[Farhan]

Is there any way to set the first day of week for kendoDatePicker?

Thanks.

Hi Telerik,

Setting the first day of the week for the calendar/datepicker control would be useful for me as well. I know it was available in the RadControls, so I hope there is a way to set it, or that it will be added in a future version.

Please let us know.

Hello Jean,

The Kendo UI Calendar and DatePicker components depend on the current culture. You could configure them via the culture() method. For example you could set the first day of the week using the following code snippet: 

<input id="datepicker" />
...
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  kendo.culture().calendar.firstDay= 2
  // create DatePicker from input HTML element
  $("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker();
  ....
});
</script>

Kind regards,

Hello Iliana

I wanted to add:

kendo.culture().calendar.firstDay = 2

to my typescript file. However I'm getting an error message. Please see attached screen shot.

Hello,

appologies for misleading you. The firstDay field is part of the days object - like this:

  kendo.culture().calendar.days.firstDay= 2
