Todays Date in Handlebars

Question

Can Someone Help me in getting Today's date in the handlebar file ? The Output should be something like "Today is Thursday" . `

<script>
  var today = new Date();
  var day = today.getDay();
  var daylist = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday ","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
  var x = document.getElementById("MyP").innerHTML;
  x = x + daylist[day];
  document.getElementById("MyP").innerHTML = x;
</script>

 <h2 class="page-header">Dashboard</h2>
<p>Welcome to {{user.username}}</p>
<p id="MyP"></p>

`

I've been trying this way but somehow it isn't working

Try this. Make sure the <script> tag is after your HTML since otherwise when your script executes, the HTML is not ready yet.

<h2 class="page-header">Dashboard</h2>
<p>Welcome to {{ user.username }}</p>
<p id="MyP">Today is </p>

<script>
    var today = new Date();
    var day = today.getDay();
    var daylist = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday ","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
    document.getElementById("MyP").innerHTML += daylist[day];
</script>
