How to get the current day of the week using dataviewjs?

[mnvwvnm]

I don’t know much about javascript, much less about how to work with dates in js.
My first strategy is “using some dataview functions” - dv.func:

dv.span(dv.func.dateformat(dv.date('today'), 'WW'))

Or exploring moment.js:

dv.span(moment(Date.now()).format('WW'))

I think is not correct, actually it print 43

what’s the output of this inline query?

`=dateformat(date(today), "WW")`

If i don’t remove the ` character have no output, but if i remove the ` :

inline code ≠ code block

i have found an alternative method to have the day of week: using templater:

<% tp.date.now(“dddd”) %>

So i solved the problem, thanks anyway for the help.

The number is correct. The issue is related with the differences between iso/luxon and locale version:

Daily Note plugin -- week of year incorrect?

Please, don’t tag the devs. They will get flooded with notifications. ISO weeks begin on monday and end on Sunday. The first week of the year always contains Jan 4th. Sunday 2022-03-06 is the last day of week 9. The locale version depends on where you are. In the US, the first day of the week is Sunday and the first week of the year is the one that contains Jan 1st. Sunday 2022-03-06 is the first day of week 11.
