How to converts the createdAt date from AWS to the day of the week

Question

I am trying to extract the day of the week from the AWS createdAt date format.

For example, given this date format: 2021-10-20T17:05:26.758Z find the day of the week (ie. Wednesday, Monday...)

I am working in Javascript and I am using AWS Amplify and Dynamo DB.

Answer 1

This date 2021-10-20T17:05:26.758Z is a valid ISO 8601 date format, so you can use Date() and toLocaleDateString() to get day name:

const dayName = new Date('2021-10-20T17:05:26.758Z').toLocaleDateString('en-US', { weekday: 'long' });

console.log(dayName);
