Pushing Array value to first Index

Question

var Config = {
   Windows: ['apple','mangi','lemon']
}

I have a condition and based on that i want to Push the banana value in my Array.

If(Condition Passed) {
      Config.Windows.unshift('banana');
      Windows: ['banana','apple','mangi','lemon']
      Config.Windows.reverse();
      // The way the Array elements are now reversed and First banana is accessed. 
    } else { 
      Config.Windows.reverse();     
} 

It does not do it... when i use the Config.Windows in my other function there is no banana Value... at all

for each(var item in Config.Windows.reverse()) {
 Ti.API.info(item);
 //This does not print banana

There are many ways in which you can push the value to the front of the array. Immediately, I can think of two ways:

• Create a new array, and replace the old one

  if (condition) {
      Config.Windows = ['banana'].join(Config.Windows)
      Config.Windows.reverse();
  } else {
      Config.Windows.reverse();
  }
  

• Based on what you've said, it would make more sense to always reverse the array, then push your value:

  //initial array: ['apple','mangi','lemon']
  
  Config.Windows.reverse(); //['lemon','mangi','apple']
  if (condition) {
      //this will get the same result as your code
      Config.Windows.push("banana"); //['lemon','mangi','apple', 'banana']
  }
