What is the context here - do you use the User Factory to create the $user? If yes, then you can create the posts using the magic hasXXX method:
User::factory()->hasPosts(3)->create([/* attributes */])

Factory from a relation
Is there a way to chain from a relation to a factory? e.g.
$user->posts()->factory()->count(3)->create()

I would like the user to have specific data, so created it using a normal User::create(...), then I want to link it to a bunch of posts but don't want to write verbose code.

@laracoft right... and why can't you do that; create takes an array of attributes.

I tried, but got this
BadMethodCallException: Call to undefined method App\Models\User::hasPosts()
Level 27
I suppose you meant User::factory()->hasPost(3)->create([...])?

@laracoft yes
