In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to insert element to front/beginning of an array in JavaScript.

For adding an element to an array, you use push which inserts the new element to the end of the array.

let array_list = [1, 2, 3]
array_list.push(4);
console.log(array_list);

Output : 1, 2, 3, 4

To insert an element to the front or beginning of an array you can use the unshift method.

let array_list = [1, 2, 3]
array_list.unshift(4);
console.log(array_list);

Output : 4, 1, 2, 3
