Counts the weekdays between two dates.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Array.from()` to construct an array with `length` equal to the number of days between `startDate` and `endDate`.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to iterate over the array, checking if each date is a weekday and incrementing `count`.
|
|
- Update `startDate` with the next day each loop using `Date.prototype.getDate()` and `Date.prototype.setDate()` to advance it by one day.
|
|
- **NOTE:** Does not take official holidays into account.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const countWeekDaysBetween = (startDate, endDate) =>
|
|
Array
|
|
.from({ length: (endDate - startDate) / (1000 * 3600 * 24) })
|
|
.reduce(count => {
|
|
if (startDate.getDay() % 6 !== 0) count++;
|
|
startDate = new Date(startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() + 1));
|
|
return count;
|
|
}, 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
countWeekDaysBetween(new Date('Oct 05, 2020'), new Date('Oct 06, 2020')); // 1
|
|
countWeekDaysBetween(new Date('Oct 05, 2020'), new Date('Oct 14, 2020')); // 7
|

```
