Why does my if statement not detect that my array is empty but it is [duplicate]

I have a server that has an array that clients can interact with

I can add and delete to it however when checking if it's empty my if statement doesn't detect it

the array:

const queue = [];

adding to it:

 socket.on("send-message", (data) => {
    console.log("ping");
    console.log(`${data.name},${data.message}`);
    queue.push(data.name);

    io.in(data.room).emit("receive-message", { data1: data, queue: queue });
    console.log(queue);
  });

here is the if statement in the delete section:

socket.on("delete-item", (data) => {
    console.log(queue);
    if (queue == []) {
      console.log("empty");
    }

    if (queue === []) {
      console.log(queue, "queue is empty");
      io.to(socket.id).emit("error", "Queue is empty");
    } else {
      queue.pop(0);
      io.in(data.room).emit("receive-delete", queue);
    }
  });
