How to disable Weekends in Jquery Datetime picker

In this post, I will demonstrate how to disable week ends using jQuery Datetime picker.
There are different ways of implementing the same functionality. In this post, I will show case basic way of disabling weekends using jquery.

Prerequisites

I'm using beforeShowDay inbuilt function to implement this:

HTML:

JavaScript:
$("#datepicker").datepicker({

    beforeShowDay: function(date) {
        var day = date.getDay();
        return [(day != 6 && day != 0)]; // 1- saturday, 0- sunday
    }
});

Or you can get the same functionality by providing a inbuilt function as the parameter.

$(function() {
   $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
     beforeShowDay: $.datepicker.noWeekends
   });
 });
