day

day(timestamp = now(), lang = 'en') formats a timestamp using locale-aware weekday and date components — e.g. Saturday, September 17, 2016. Built on Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString with weekday, year, month, and day all set to long/numeric. Part of pota/use/time; defaults to now() when called with no argument.

Arguments
