This can be done by using splice() method of an array.

splice() takes more than 3 arguments. The first is the start index: the place where we’ll start making the changes. The second is the delete count parameter. We’re adding to the array, so the delete count is 0 in all our examples. After this, you can add one or many items an array as you like.

const fruits = ['mango', 'orange']

colors.splice(0, 0, 'apple')

//['apple', 'mango', 'orange']
