Returns

Number—The new length of the array.

Parameters

item1, ..., itemN

The items that will be added to the beginning of the ObservableArray.

<script>
var array = new kendo.data.ObservableArray([2, 3]);
var result = array.unshift(0, 1);
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
console.log(result); // outputs "4"
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
console.log(array); // outputs [0, 1, 2, 3]
