Here is my code but this array returns only the same elements, i am trying to create an array which contains 10 elements as the next mondays anyone know please help me
my code:
function getNextDayOfTheWeek(dayName, excludeToday = true, refDate = new Date()) {
const dayOfWeek = ["sun","mon","tue","wed","thu","fri","sat"]
.indexOf(dayName.slice(0,3).toLowerCase());
if (dayOfWeek < 0) return;
refDate.setHours(0,0,0,0);
refDate.setDate(refDate.getDate() + +!!excludeToday +
(dayOfWeek + 7 - refDate.getDay() - +!!excludeToday) % 7);
return refDate;
}
let arr=[]
for(let i=0;i<10;i++){
arr.push(arr[i]=getNextDayOfTheWeek("Monday",false))
}
console.log(arr)
getNextDayOfWeek is being given the same inputs and so will have the same outputs.
You need to:
new Date into the result array, because Dates are objects and thus passed by reference. If you don't do this, each call of getNextDayOfTheWeek will be making changes to the same object stored in each position of the result array.Z at the end of the time indicating UTC).let arr=[]
let refDate = new Date()
for(let i=0;i<10;i++){
refDate = getNextDayOfTheWeek("Monday",false, refDate)
arr.push(refDate)
}
function getNextDayOfTheWeek(dayName, excludeToday = true, refDate = new Date()) {
const dayOfWeek = ["sun","mon","tue","wed","thu","fri","sat"]
.indexOf(dayName.slice(0,3).toLowerCase());
if (dayOfWeek < 0) return;
refDate.setHours(0,0,0,0);
refDate.setDate(refDate.getDate() + +!!excludeToday +
(dayOfWeek + 7 - refDate.getDay() - +!!excludeToday) % 7);
return refDate;
}
let arr=[]
let refDate = new Date()
for(let i=0;i<10;i++){
refDate = getNextDayOfTheWeek("Monday", i > 0 ? true : false, refDate)
arr.push(new Date(refDate))
}
console.log(arr)
