Adding data to table belonging to users table

I have a user and they can have multiple roles.

Models:

			public function user() {
    				return $this->hasOne(User::class);
				}

		public function roles() {
    				return $this->hasMany(Role::class);
				}

When I want to insert data, as far as I understand, I need to do this: public function insert() $user = Auth::user(); $user->bios()->store(['description' => 'Test']);

I get the error: "Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany::store()"

I can pull what roles belongs to a user, but I can't insert for some reason. I know I probably oversee a small mistake but it's quite infuriating.

Sorry, I don't know how code formatting works here.

With an Eloquent model, the docs outline how to insert a record:

$flight = new Flight;
$flight->name = $request->name;
$flight->save();

Typically, you will create and insert a record when a user submits a form. You haven't posted much code so it's tough to tell exactly what you're doing. But it looks like you have the insert() function inside of a model. I would recommend following the guidelines from the documentation and handle the insert using a controller.
