# Create New Array

Creates a new Array. The outgoing property _Id_ is the id of the newly created array. This can for example be connected to an [Array](/nodes/data/array/array-node) node or [Insert Object Into Array Node](/nodes/data/array/insert-into-array).

## Inputs

| Data                                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <span className="ndl-data">Items</span> | {/*##input:items##*/}An array containing initial items of the new array. It will be read when the _Do_ signal is triggered. In other words, the new Array will be a copy of the provided Array, containing the same Objects.{/*##input##*/} |

| Signal                                 | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <span className="ndl-signal">Do</span> | {/*##input:do##*/}Sending a signal to this input creates the new Array. The _Id_ of the newly created array will be set on the _Id_ output. Each triggering will create a new Array, hence changing the _Id_ output.{/*##input##*/} |

## Outputs

| Data                                 | Description                                                                                          |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <span className="ndl-data">Id</span> | {/*##output:id##*/}The Id of the newly created Array. You use this Id to refer to the Array.{/*##output##*/} |

| Signal                                   | Description                                                                                |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| <span className="ndl-signal">Done</span> | {/*##output:done##*/}This signal will be sent when the new Array has been created.{/*##output##*/} |
