The equivalent of `syncWithPivotValues` for `attach` method in Laravel 9

Question

In Laravel 9, there's syncWithPivotValues, which can sync several records with passed pivot values. Is there such thing for attach method? Basically I want to perform attach to several records with the same pivot values, such as:

// attach `role` 1, 2, 3 to `$user`; with `active` attribute set to `true`
$user->roles()->attach([1, 2, 3], ['active' => true]);

You can do something like this:

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

If you don't want to repeat ['active' => true] all the time, you can use array_fill_keys like this: array_fill_keys([1, 2, 3], ['active' => true]) so your code will look like:

$user->roles()->attach(array_fill_keys([1, 2, 3], ['active' => true]));

Thanks for your reply, but my point is that I don't want to write the 'active' => true 3 times. Is that possible?

@rifqyabdl I updated my answer so it is shorter now. Unfortunately you can't do that what you want, but you can use some trickery to achieve the same.
