Is there a method that only returns the day of the week?

[NHJ]

I need a method to select and use the day of the week, Mon, Tue Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat.

Is there such a method?

Hi Nam Hyuck,

This could be achieved by using JavaScript getDay() method that will return an integer from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).  Then it could be mapped onto a string for that day of the week. For more information please refer to the following Stack Overflow thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31953070/12355063

The value of the DatePicker could be gotten with value method of the widget:

$("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({
    value: new Date(2013, 10, 12)
});

var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker");
var value = datepicker.value();
var date = value.getDay()
console.log(date);

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not the way I wanted to.

For example, when you pick January 7, 20, you don't want a result called "Tuesday."

Year Month Day? Uneven

I just want a sort of Picker function that consists of "day of the week" regardless of the date.

Does that exist?

Hi Nam Hyuck,

As for now, the DatePicker has no method returning the day of the week.  If you would like we could convert this thread to a feature request.

Still, the value() method could be modified so the returned result is the day of the week:

var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker");
var value = datepicker.value().toString();
var dayOfWeek = value.substring(0, 3);

This could be observed in the following Dojo demo: https://dojo.telerik.com/AgeyIjoq

Let me know if you have further questions.
