set item to be first in array js code example

Example 1: unshift method in javascript

var name = [ "john" ];
name.unshift( "charlie" );
name.unshift( "joseph", "Jane" );
console.log(name);

//Output will be
[" joseph "," Jane ", " charlie ", " john "]

Example 2: insert element at beginning of array javascript

// Use unshift method if you don't mind mutating issue
// If you want to avoid mutating issue
const array = [3, 2, 1]

const newFirstElement = 4

const newArray = [newFirstElement].concat(array) // [ 4, 3, 2, 1 ]

console.log(newArray);
