jQWidgets jqxCalendar dayNameFormat Property

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful and optimized framework, platform-independent, and widely supported. The jqxCalendar represents a jQuery calendar widget that enables the user to select a date using a visual monthly calendar display.

The dayNameFormat property is used to set or return the name format of days of the week. It accepts string type value and its default value is ‘firstTwoLetters’.

Its possible values are –

  • ‘default’
  • ‘shortest’
  • ‘firstTwoLetters’
  • ‘firstLetter’
  • ‘full’

Syntax:

$('.selector').jqxCalendar({
    dayNameFormat: String
});
