FullCalendar.io get selected day of the week

Question

Im using the following plugin: FullCalendar.js by : [https://fullcalendar.io/][1]

I am using this with ajax and JSON with an API. however i would like to know if its possible to get the selected day of the week as I want to make certain conditions happen if that day is a Saturday for example:

Is this possible? I have been looking in the docs and came across this:

https://fullcalendar.io/docs/mouse/dayClick/

But im not sure that is correct?

Answer 1

Per your comment, yes, you would want dayClick() for this:

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    dayClick: function(date, jsEvent, view) {
        var day = date.day(); // number 0-6 with Sunday as 0 and Saturday as 6
        alert(day);
    }
});

For a full list of all fullcalendar click events, check out the docs at https://fullcalendar.io/docs/mouse/ .

Answer 2

Based on your comments, I think the dayClick callback is the most likely option for you.

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    //....
    dayClick: function(date, jsEvent, view) {
     var dow = date.day(); //this will give you the day of the week. Sunday is 0, Saturday is 6.
     //you can now use this to make your ajax call and whatever else you need
    }
});

Note that if there are events in that day, and the user clicks on the actual event (rather than the empty areas around it), the dayClick callback does not fire.
