How to make a simple calendar using CSS Grid, Vue and moment/date-fns

Question

I've made a simple calendar using the Vuejs, momentjs and css-grids layout. But the week starts with Sunday (in american style). How can I change the code to make it start with Monday (european style calendar)? I tried to change the column method decrementing it to 2, but only shows properly august and other months started with wrong weekdays. Also I guess I need somehow change the css option grid-template-columns to support Mondays as the first days of week.

Here's the codepen: https://codepen.io/moogeek/pen/oNWyWvM

const calendar = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data() {
    return {
      date:moment(),
      days: [],
      monthName: '',
    }
  },
  methods: {
    column(index) {
      if (index == 0) {
        return this.days[0].day() + 1
      }
    },
    isToday(day) {
      return moment().isSame(day, 'day')
    },
    updateMonth(){
      this.monthName = this.date.format("MMMM YYYY")
      let monthDate = this.date.startOf('month');
    
      this.days = [...Array(monthDate.daysInMonth())].map((_, i) => monthDate.clone().add(i, 'day'))
    },
    nextMonth(){
      this.date.add(1,'month')
      this.updateMonth()
    },
    previousMonth(){
      this.date.subtract(1,'month')
      this.updateMonth()
    },
  },
  mounted() {
    this.updateMonth()
  }
})

  overflow:hidden;

#app {
    width:100%;

  #calendar{

    grid-template-columns: repeat(7, 1fr);
    max-width: 1024px;
    width: 100%;
    transition: transform .3s ease 0s;
  }

  #calendar > *{
    align-items: center;

    justify-content: center;

  #calendar > *::before {
    content: "";
    display: inline-block;

    padding-bottom: 100%;

  }
  
  #calendar > *.today{
    color: black;
    border: 0.1em solid black;
    border-radius: 100%;
  }

  #calendar > .day {

    margin:3px;
  }


  
      
      Calendar


  
 
   
            
              
                  
                  {{ monthName }}
                  
              

              
                
                  
                    S
                    M
                    T
                    W
                    T
                    F
                    S
                  
                  
                    {{ day.format('D') }}

upd. Ok perhaps I came to a better solution of wrapping weekdays and days in separated containers and adding grid-column:7 property to the first day child. Also changed column function so it doesn't add addiontal offset:

Now onmount the August month is showing correctly, but if I click prev/next months it is somehow cloned out with September's days order... Please could you let me know what am I doing wrong and how do I correct the code so it can show all months properly:

My modern solution with date-fns can be found on github: https://github.com/kissu/so-date-fns-calendar

It is also hosted here: https://so-date-fns-calendar.netlify.app/

And here is the relevant code to achieve all of this

I checked 1 year before and 1 year after, everything looks perfectly fine.
Tell me if you need any additional comments or alike!

Btw, my app is a Nuxt one because I just wanted to spin something quickly and that I'm used to it, but the code here is 100% compatible with vanilla Vue.

Ok I've temporarily added an additional check if the first day of current month is Sunday - then grid-column property is not assigned: https://codepen.io/moogeek/pen/JjNBBqo


    {{ day.format('D') }}

//inside methods
setGridColumn(index){
      return (this.days[0].startOf('month').format('e')!=6) ? this.column(index) : null;
}

But maybe there are another options to achieve this or possibly it leads to other bugs?
