Checks if the given date is a weekend.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Date.prototype.getDay()` to check weekend by using a modulo operator (`%`).
|
|
- Omit the argument, `d`, to use the current date as default.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const isWeekend = (d = new Date()) => d.getDay() % 6 === 0;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
isWeekend(); // 2018-10-19 (if current date is 2018-10-18)
|
|
```
