Add class to dates from array (Jquery UI Datepicker)

Question

I have this array of events:

var events = {
        "course": [{
            "date": "9-4-2017",
            "hour": "17:30",
            "title": "lorem Ipsum",
            "manager": "yada yada",
            "link": "http://www.example.com"
        },
        {
            "date": "9-5-2017",
            "hour": "17:30",
            "title": "lorem Ipsum",
            "manager": "yada yada",
            "link": "http://www.example.com"
        },
        ]
};

While I managed to get the data I want while clicking on the dates, I didn't quit got how to use the "beforeShowDay" event to add a class to the dates in my array.

this is my "onSelect" code which works perfectly for now:

    dateFormat: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
    onSelect: function (date, el) {
        $('.coursesDatesList ul').empty();
        var day  = el.selectedDay,
            mon  = el.selectedMonth,
            year = el.selectedYear;

        var el = $(el.dpDiv).find('[data-year="'+year+'"][data-month="'+mon+'"]').filter(function() {
            return $(this).find('a').text().trim() == day;
        });
        var eventMonth = mon + 1;
        var eventClass = ' event';
        var eventDate = eventMonth+'-'+el.text()+'-'+year;
        if(el[0].className == eventClass) {
            $.each(events.course, function(i, v) {
                if (v.date.search(eventDate) != -1) {

                    $('.coursesDatesContainer .courseDate').html(eventDate.replace(/-/g, '/'));
                    $('.coursesDatesContainer ul').append(
                        "<li>" +
                            "<span class='courseItemTime'>"+v.hour+"</span>" +
                            "<div class='courseItemName'><a title='"+v.title+"' href='"+v.link+"'>"+v.title+"</a></div>" +
                            "<span class='courseItemLecturer'>"+v.manager+"</span>" +
                            "<a class='goLink' href='"+v.link+"' title='"+v.title+"'>❯</a>" +
                        "</li>");

                    return;
                }
            });
        } else {
            //console.log('not an event day!');
        }
    }

Hope this helps!

use inArray to get dates from your array.

var array=[];
$.each(events.course, function(i, v) {
array.push(v.date);
});
$('input').datepicker({
    beforeShowDay: function(date){
        var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('dd-mm-yy', date);
        if($.inArray(string, array) == -1){
            return [true];
        }
        else{
        return [true,"newClass"];
        }
    }
});

 var events = {
        "course": [{
            "date": "19-09-2017",
            "hour": "17:30",
            "title": "lorem Ipsum",
            "manager": "yada yada",
            "link": "http://www.example.com"
        },
        {
            "date": "28-09-2017",
            "hour": "17:30",
            "title": "lorem Ipsum",
            "manager": "yada yada",
            "link": "http://www.example.com"
        },
        ]
};
var array=[];
$.each(events.course, function(i, v) {
array.push(v.date);
});
$('input').datepicker({
    beforeShowDay: function(date){
        var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('dd-mm-yy', date);
        if($.inArray(string, array) == -1){
        	return [true];
        }
        else{
        return [true,"newClass"];
        }
    }
});

#ui-datepicker-div { font-size: 12px; } 
td.newClass>a {
    background: red !important;
}
