Get Day from date string using javascript

Question

I want build a function (or using a library) that get the day of the week from a date String..

For example, I want transform this date : 1-12-2015 to "Monday"

Any help ? Thank you

You don't need a library for this, Javascript's [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) methods are perfectly fine for this. In particular see [getDay](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getDay) — Xotic750, Dec 28 '15 at 17:48

var days = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'];
var day = days[ (new Date("1-12-2015")).getDay() ];
alert(day);
