After trying a few different ways, I finally sat down and just wrote out my own
function to do what I wanted it to. Below is my example code that works (as
far as I know so far). It takes the current date and adds a number of days to
it (in this case, it is 10 days) and it only counts weekdays. I didn't exclude
holidays, but I assume this could be added in by using an array of dates that
you must statically build. Hope this helps someone from having to do as much
searching as I did!
var dueDate = 10 //number of days to add
var daysToAdd = 0
var mydate = new Date()
document.write(mydate+"<br><br>")
var day = mydate.getDay()
dueDate = dueDate - (5-day)
if ((5-day) < dueDate || dueDate == 1) {
daysToAdd = (5-day) + 2 + daysToAdd
} else { // (5-day) >= dueDate
daysToAdd = (5-day) + daysToAdd
}
while (dueDate != 0) {
var week = dueDate - 5
if (week > 0) {
daysToAdd = 7 + daysToAdd
dueDate = dueDate - 5
} else { // week < 0
daysToAdd = (5 + week) + daysToAdd
dueDate = dueDate - (5 + week)
}
}
mydate.setDate(mydate.getDate() + daysToAdd)
document.write(mydate)
