Get day from a Date - React Native

Question

in my program when I click on a calendar I am getting the "selectedDate" variable changed. Like if I click on 4/6/2021 the value of selectedDate = 04-06-2021, Like if I click on 14/7/2021 the value of selectedDate = 14-07-2021.

I need to get which day of the week the dates are. I am trying in this way:

        <View>
           
            <H1 color={color.white}>{days[selectedDate.getDay()]}</H1>
          
         </View>

I need to get which day of the week is the selected date. this syntax is giving an error "Property 'getDay' does not exist on type 'string'"

Answer 2
