Full Calendar get date from selected Week

Question

I'm using FullCalendar plugin(week view) for jQuery in my project. In FullCalendar week view, I can see a row showing the date in following format:- Sunday 9/6, Monday 9/7, Tuesday 9/8 so on...

var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    header: {
        left: 'prev',
        center: 'title',
        right: 'next'
    },
    defaultView: 'basicWeek'                    
});

Now I have used only header format in calendar for time sheet project. I want to get dates 9/6, 9/7 from current selected week in alert when move to next/previous week (this is for store date in database). It is possible to get dates separately for current week?

You can get the begin & end dates from fullcalendar like this:

let currentDate = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate');
let beginOfWeek = currentDate.startOf('week');
let endOfWeek = currentDate.endOf('week');

Edit:

You can add the events configuration for fullcalendar. This way you will get the start & end dates when switching views and it also lets you fetch events and render them on the calendar.

events: function(start, end, callback) {
  // request the back-end and call the callback when the ajax is done
  $.get('events/get', function(result) {
    callback(result);
  });
}
