you can try this:

var t = new Date('07/26/2017')
t.getDay() // it will return 3

This is a working snippet:

var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller("myCtrl", function($scope) {

  $scope.myDate = '07/26/2017';
});

app.filter('customdate', function() {
  return function(input) {
    var t = new Date(input);
    return t.getDay();
  }
});

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>

<body>

  <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    {{myDate|customdate}}
  </div>

I need it on angular binding side, so JavaScript functions are not work in angular binding – nativegrip Jul 26 '17 at 06:59

You can use simple date prototype methods like getDay() Here is the example.

var d = new Date('07/26/2017');
var day = d.getDay()'

It will simple return 3 i.e. day of the week.

NOTE: Date constructor should be initialized with the standard date formats.

Here, you can try this.

<div ng-app="dateApp" ng-controller="dateController">
   <p> {{ result }} </p>
</div>

Controller

var dtApp = angular.module('dateApp', []);
dtApp.controller(
    'dateController',
    function ($scope, $filter) {
        $scope.result = new Date().getDay();
    }
);
