I wonder if it is possible to get the workdays(mon-fri) by month and year. The input is a month + year the output a list of dates. For example: I give Month 1 and year 2020. I want to get: mon 01-01, tue 02-01, wed 03-01, thu 04-01, fri 05-01, mon 08-01 etc.

Yes, it's possible. Get the first day of your month. Then iterate over all days to find the weekdays.
function getWeekDates(_year, _month) {
let firstDay = new Date(_year, _month);
const month = firstDay.getMonth();
const weekDays = [];
for (let i = 1; i < 32; i++) {
const date = new Date(_year, month, i);
// the ith day of the month is in the next month, so we stop looping
if (date.getMonth() !== month) {
break;
}
const day = date.getDay();
// push to week days if it's not a Sunday or a Saturday
if (day > 0 && day < 6) {
weekDays.push(formatDate(date));
}
}
return weekDays;
}
function formatDate(date) {
// replace this by your favourite date formatter
const days = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thrus", "Fri", "Sat"];
return `${days[date.getDay()]} ${date.getDate()}-${date.getMonth() + 1}`;
}
// Get for September 2022 (Note months start with January being index 0)
console.log(getWeekDates(2022, 8));

You could simply try creating an array which will first contain the date objects for the first day of each months.
It should be like this: const MyDates= ["1ST DATE OBJECT", "2ND DATE OBJECT", ..., "upto Dec"];
You can then try to loop through each date object and use the getDay() method to get the weekday of that particular date.
