this.methods.contractConstructor is not a function

[EthanWan]

i want to deploy my contract, code is very sample:

    let Web3 = require('web3'); // version v1.0.0-beta46
    const web3 = new Web3("ws://localhost:8545");

    const myContract = new web3.eth.Contract([insert abi]);

    myContract.deploy({
        arguments: [],
        data: "0x12345..."
    })
    // ...

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. run command

node deploy.js
