Assign multiple roles by id

How do I assign multiple roles by id? I have an array of role id's that I need to assign to a user.

This doesn't seem to work ..

$user->roles()->attach(Role::whereIn('id', $data['roles']));

It's not working because you do not have an array yet. You need to finish the query:

$user->roles()->attach(Role::whereIn('id', $data['roles'])->pluck('id')->toArray());

But if you already have the role ids, why wouldn't you just do this:

$user->roles->attach($data['roles']);
