You want to expand your business to Europe. Bam, your code is broken, in Europe the week starts on Monday.
Than you want to expand to the middle east. Bam, broken again... Because in arab countries and Israel, the weekend is on Friday and Saturday.
Then you want to expand to Mexico and India. Bam, broken again, their weekend is only on Sunday.
The obvious solution is to inject an IWeekendDaysOfWeekProvider service in the inversion of control container. In your, uh, javascript web app.
Just npm install isWeekend for the required locales.
Depends on: isMonday, isTuesday,...
...isWednesdayMyDudes...
This but non-ironically.
This dude(ette) globalizes.
I was wondering why the second example returned monday and tuesday. I had no idea the week could start any day other than monday
