Get Weeks In Month Through Javascript

Weeks start on Sunday

This ought to work even when February doesn't start on Sunday.

function weekCount(year, month_number) {

    // month_number is in the range 1..12

    var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number-1, 1);
    var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);

    var used = firstOfMonth.getDay() + lastOfMonth.getDate();

    return Math.ceil( used / 7);
}

Weeks start on Monday

function weekCount(year, month_number) {

    // month_number is in the range 1..12

    var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number-1, 1);
    var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);

    var used = firstOfMonth.getDay() + 6 + lastOfMonth.getDate();

    return Math.ceil( used / 7);
}

Weeks start another day

function weekCount(year, month_number, startDayOfWeek) {
  // month_number is in the range 1..12

  // Get the first day of week week day (0: Sunday, 1: Monday, ...)
  var firstDayOfWeek = startDayOfWeek || 0;

  var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number-1, 1);
  var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);
  var numberOfDaysInMonth = lastOfMonth.getDate();
  var firstWeekDay = (firstOfMonth.getDay() - firstDayOfWeek + 7) % 7;

  var used = firstWeekDay + numberOfDaysInMonth;

  return Math.ceil( used / 7);
}

None of the solutions proposed here don't works correctly, so I wrote my own variant and it works for any cases.

Simple and working solution:

/**
 * Returns count of weeks for year and month
 *
 * @param {Number} year - full year (2016)
 * @param {Number} month_number - month_number is in the range 1..12
 * @returns {number}
 */
var weeksCount = function(year, month_number) {
    var firstOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number - 1, 1);
    var day = firstOfMonth.getDay() || 6;
    day = day === 1 ? 0 : day;
    if (day) { day-- }
    var diff = 7 - day;
    var lastOfMonth = new Date(year, month_number, 0);
    var lastDate = lastOfMonth.getDate();
    if (lastOfMonth.getDay() === 1) {
        diff--;
    }
    var result = Math.ceil((lastDate - diff) / 7);
    return result + 1;
};
