For keepping this library extra light locales are omitted. In case you need to get a day of the week or write a full month name you can get number of the week day or a month number with this formatting and add month name or a weekday in your language

date("Wed Sep 30 2020 14:44:09 GMT+0300").format("dddd");
date("Wed Sep 30 2020 14:44:09 GMT+0300").format("MM");
