Laravel 5: syncing an extra field via pivot
You are actually pretty close. The required format is:
[ 98 => ['company_id' => 129], 99 => ['company_id' => 130], 100 => ['company_id' => 131]]This should generate the correct array:
$extra = array_map(function($companyId){ return ['company_id' => $companyId];}, $allCompanyIds);$data = array_combine($allPositionIds, $extra);$user->positions()->sync($data);
Based on the answer of @lukasgeiter, here there is an example to combine two extra field for a pivot table:
$extra = array_map(function($qualityId) use($request){ return ['quality_id' => $qualityId, 'product_id' => $request->product]; }, $arrayQualitiesIds); $data = array_combine($arrayQualitiesIds, $extra); dd($data);Output:
1 => array:2 [▼ "quality_id" => "1" "product_id" => "5" ] 2 => array:2 [▼ "quality_id" => "2" "product_id" => "5" ] 3 => array:2 [▼ "quality_id" => "3" "product_id" => "5" ]
