The `array.from()` function constructs a table from an array of records.
Each record in the array is converted into an output row or record.
All records must have the same keys and data types.

{{< keep-url >}}
```js
import "array"

array.from(
    rows: [
        {_time: 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z, _field: "exampleField", _value: 3, foo: "bar"},
        {_time: 2020-01-01T00:01:00Z, _field: "exampleField", _value: 4, foo: "bar"},
        {_time: 2020-01-01T00:02:00Z, _field: "exampleField", _value: 1, foo: "bar"},
    ],
)
```

## Parameters

### rows {data-type="array"}
Array of records to construct a table with.

## Examples

##### Build an arbitrary table
```js
import "array"

rows = [{foo: "bar", baz: 21.2}, {foo: "bar", baz: 23.8}]

array.from(rows: rows)
```

##### Union custom rows with query results
```js
import "influxdata/influxdb/v1"
import "array"

tags = v1.tagValues(bucket: "example-bucket", tag: "host")
wildcard_tag = array.from(rows: [{_value: "*"}])

union(tables: [tags, wildcard_tag])

```
