Connect calendar and textinput in Shiny

Question

How do I adjust my textinput so that whenever I choose a date from the calendar, it shows the corresponding day of the week?

For example, if I choose 01/08 in the calendar, show in textinput "Sunday", 08/08 "Sunday" and 13/08 "Friday".

Any help with this?

Thank you very much!

You can use updateTextInput in observeEvent -
