# insert
Insert function is used to insert an object, an array, or data to a node in the reducer tree.
```javascript
dispatch(insert('DESTINATION', 'OBJECT-NAME', PAYLOAD ));
```
There are 3 parameters: \
*Destination***:** which could be a [*destination path*](/no-reducer/no-reducer-actions/destination-path.md) or the name of the object you want to insert to. \
*Object name*: the name of the object \
*Payload:* the value of the object; it could be an object, array, or data.
**Example 1:** \
We want to add an object `{ food: ‘crawfish’ }` to the User object.
```javascript
dispatch(insert('User', 'food', 'crawfish'));
```
**Example 2:**\
Insert an array `meal: ["crawfish", "corn", "hotdog", "shrimp"]` to the User
```javascript
