We all know the basic use of the attach method but you may not be aware that you can also pass an array of additional data to be inserted into the intermediate table:

use App\Models\User;

$user = User::find(1);

$user->roles()->attach($roleId, ['expires' => true]);

Also, you can specify the `expires` attribute for each role:

use App\Models\User;

$user = User::find(1);

$user->roles()->attach([
    1 => ['expires' => false],
    2 => ['expires' => true]
]);

In addition, the toggle method which detaches the ID that is currently attached, you may also pass additional intermediate table values with the IDs:

use App\Models\User;

$user = User::first();

$user->roles()->toggle([
    1 => ['expires' => true],
    2 => ['expires' => false]
]);

Finally, the updateExistingPivot method updates an existing row in your relationship's intermediate table, where you can pass the intermediate record foreign key as a first parameter and the attributes that you want to update as a second one:

use App\Models\User;

$user = User::firstOrFail();

$user->roles()->updateExistingPivot($roleId, [
    'active' => false
]);
