You can do that by simply adding new elements to the array with the help of the push() method.

let colors = ["Red", "Blue", "Orange"];
console.log('Array before push: ' + colors);
// append new value to the array
colors.push("Green");
console.log('Array after push : ' + colors);

Another method is used for appending an element to the beginning of an array is the unshift() function, which adds and returns the new length. It accepts multiple arguments, attaches the indexes of existing elements, and finally returns the new length of an array:

let colors = ["Red", "Blue", "Orange"];
console.log('Array before unshift: ' + colors);
// append new value to the array
colors.unshift("Black", "Green");
console.log('Array after unshift : ' + colors);

There are other methods too. You can check them out here.
