# 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: \
\&#xNAN;*Destination***:** which could be a [*destination path*](https://docs.no-reducer.com/no-reducer/no-reducer-actions/destination-path) or the name of the object you want to insert to. \
\&#xNAN;*Object name*: the name of the object \
\&#xNAN;*Payload:* the value of the object; it could be an object, array, or data.

We want to add an object `{ food: ‘crawfish’ }` to the User object.

```javascript
dispatch(insert('User', 'food', 'crawfish'));
```
