In this project, you will learn about date objects in javascript. The Date object is used to work with date and time. And this is the default functional key.

var date = new Date();

The following are the Date Objects method. We will work only with the date.

var month = date.getMonth();

Returns the month from 0 to 11.

var day = date.getDate();

It will return the day of the month.

var year = date.getFullYear();

It returns the 4 digit year. After the get word of the date object is always a capital letter or else it will not work. Now, let's get the day of the week.

var getday = date.getDay();

This will return the number from 0 which represents Sunday and 1 is Monday, so on. In order for us to get the name of the weekday, we have put them in an array.

var weekday = new Array(7);
        weekday[0] = "Sunday";
        weekday[1] = "Monday";
        weekday[2] = "Tuesday";
        weekday[3] = "Wednesday";
        weekday[4] = "Thursday";
        weekday[5] = "Friday";
        weekday[6] = "Saturday";
var getday = weekday[date.getDay()];

Very simple javascript code. Hope you learn from this.
