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 firstDayOfWeek property is used to set or return the day to display in the first day column. By default, ‘Sunday’ is the first day of calendar. It accepts number type value and its default value is 0.

  firstDayOfWeek: Number
});
