});
calendar.appendTo('#calendar');
/*selected current week dates when click the button*/
document.getElementById('workweek').addEventListener('click', function () {

calendar.element.classList.remove('week');
}
calendar.element.classList.add('workweek');
});
/*selected current week dates when click the button*/
document.getElementById('week').addEventListener('click', function () {
if (calendar.element.classList.contains('workweek')) {
calendar.element.classList.remove('workweek');
}
calendar.element.classList.add('week');
});
function onChange(args) {
var startOfWeek = moment(calendar.value).startOf('week');
var endOfWeek = moment(calendar.value).endOf('week');
if (calendar.element.classList.contains('workweek')) {
getWeekArray(startOfWeek.day(1), endOfWeek.day(5));
}
else if (calendar.element.classList.contains("week")) {
getWeekArray(startOfWeek, endOfWeek);
}
}
function getWeekArray(startOfWeek, endOfWeek) {
var days = [];
var day = startOfWeek;
while (day <= endOfWeek) {
days.push(day.toDate());
day = day.clone().add(1, 'd');
}
