How to Print getday() function as Name by JavaScript

So, this can be done many way but its important to my because i am trying to display the functionality within Elementor HTML widget.

<script>
 * Function takes in a Date object and returns the day of the week in a text format.
 */
function getWeekDay(date){
    //Create an array containing each day, starting with Sunday.
    var weekdays = new Array(
        "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
    );
    //Use the getDay() method to get the day.
    var day = date.getDay();
    //Return the element that corresponds to that index.
    return weekdays[day];
}
</script> 

The function takes in a Date object and returns the day of the week in text format. we will use getDay method to call the day.

Next, we can display the day

//The current weekday in a text format.
var date = new Date();
var weekDay = getWeekDay(date);
console.log('The current weekday is ' + weekDay);

The above code block will print Today text format

<script>
//Finding out what day a specific date fell on.
var date = new Date('December 25, 1987');
var weekDay = getWeekDay(date);
console.log('Christmas Day in 1987 fell on a ' + weekDay);
</script>

Above block quote will Print a specific day. you can also print birthday. cool right!!!

<script>
//What weekday is tomorrow?
var tomorrow = new Date();
tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);
var weekDay = getWeekDay(tomorrow);
console.log('Tomorrow will be a ' + weekDay); 
</script>

The Above code block will print Tomorrow day. here i use it to my project. My client wanted to ship the product within 6 days. so i just change 1 with 6. So simple right?

if we want to use it display block should display with a id tag simply we can use below code

<script>
var tomorrow = new Date();
tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 6);
var weekDay = getWeekDay(tomorrow);
console.log('Tomorrow will be a ' + weekDay);
  var weekDay = getWeekDay(tomorrow);
  document.getElementById("shippingday").innerHTML = weekDay;        
</script> 

The code will call the element by id now you can add the id to any html tag. i am adding the id in a paragraph tag

<p id="shippingday"></p>

Result:

the output day will be add 6 day that mean if today is Thursday so output will be Wednesday

Important note: the day only work within 7 day.

If you’re looking for the three-letter version of each day, then simply modify the array in the getWeekDay function.
