javascript push prepend code example

Example 1: array.unshift in javascript

//The unshift() method adds one or more elements to the beginning of an array 
//and returns the new length of the array.

const array1 = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(array1.unshift(4, 5));
// expected output: 5
console.log(array1);
// expected output: Array [4, 5, 1, 2, 3]

Example 2: prepend to array javascript

// Build an array of test data.
var data = [ "X" ];

// Unshift data onto the array. Unshift() prepends elements to
// the beginning of the given array. Note that it can take more
// than one argument. In the output, notice that when unshift()
// takes multiple arguments, they are prepended in a right-to-left
// order (mimicing their appearence in the arguments list).
data.unshift( "A" );
data.unshift( "B", "C" );

// Output resultant array.
console.log( data );
