I am very new to web development and I am currently working on a dashboard my data comes from a MySql database. I would like to convert a week number and year to an actual date object in the frontend using javascript. This is my first try, which i stumbled while researching I believe that this function assumes the first day of the week of the current year is Monday(1):
function getDateOfWeek(w, y) {
var d = 1 + (w - 1) * 7;
return new Date(y, 0, d);
}
But the idea that the first day of the week is always Monday is desirable what if otherwise? So upon more research, I modified the code to look like this:
let currentDate = new Date()
let currentYear = currentDate.getFullYear()
let firstOfJan = new Date(currentYear, 0, 1).getDay();
function getDateOfWeek(w, y) {
var d = firstOfJan + (w - firstOfJan) * 7;
return new Date(y, 0, d);
}
Please I am not sure if this solves the problem 100 percent. Is there a downside to the function above? or does it cover it? or I am missing something? Thank you for your time
