How can you get the currentday of the week REACT NATIVE?

Question

I saw a code as reference where it showed the output of the currentTime, currentDay, the date, month, year in react native using extend class Component

export default class NowShowing extends Component {
constructor() {
super();



this.state = { currentTime: null, currentDay: null };
this.daysArray = [
  'sunday',
  'monday',
  'tuesday',
  'wednesday',
  'thursday',
  'friday',
  'saturday',
  'sunday',
];
}
UNSAFE_componentWillMount() {
this.getCurrentTime();
}
getCurrentTime = () => {
let hour = new Date().getHours();
let minutes = new Date().getMinutes();
let seconds = new Date().getSeconds();
let am_pm = 'PM';

if (minutes < 10) {
  minutes = '0' + minutes;
}

if (seconds < 10) {
  seconds = '0' + seconds;
}

if (hour > 12) {
  hour = hour - 12;
}

if (hour == 0) {
  hour = 12;
}

if (new Date().getHours() < 12) {
  am_pm = 'AM';
}
this.setState({
  currentTime: hour + ':' + minutes  + '' + am_pm,
});

this.daysArray.map((item, key) => {
  if (key == new Date().getDay()) {
    this.setState({ currentDay: item.toUpperCase() });
  }
});
};
componentWillUnmount() {
clearInterval(this.timer);
}
componentDidMount() {
this.timer = setInterval(() => {
  this.getCurrentTime();
}, 1000);
}
render(
return(
<View >
      <Text >{this.state.currentTime}</Text>
      <Text >{this.state.currentDay} | {new Date().getMonth()}/
        {new Date().getDate()}/{new Date().getFullYear()}</Text>
    </View>
);
)

it is possible convert it into a function or is there another way of doing this code showing the output of the current day of the week??

Thanks so much in advanced!!!!

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Oct 21 '22 at 23:00

you can directly use getDay function

new Date().getDay()

it will return the number

0 = sunday
1 = monday
2 = tuesday
3 = wednesday
4 = thursday
5 = friday
6 = saturday
