How to convert day of week name to day of week number

Question

How can I get the integer equivalent of days of the week i.e monday to 2, tuesday to 3, wednesday to 4

Answer 1

You could also use the "indexOf" function of javascript.

var days  = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'];

console.log(days.indexOf('Sunday')); // return 0
console.log(days.indexOf('Tuesday')); // return 2

But remember that "indexOf" is case sensitive and that it will return "-1", if the string is not in the array.
