Give multiple permissions to a role - Spatie

Question

How can we assign multiple permissions to a single role at once?

    $permission1 = Permission::create(['name' => 'Create Client']);
    $permission2 = Permission::create(['name' => 'View Invoice']);
    $permission3 = Permission::create(['name' => 'Add Product']);

    $role = Role::findById(1);

    $role->givePermissionTo($permission1);

In above, I'm only giving permission to the first one.

As this is also achived by, $role->syncPermissions($permissions); Im confused how $permission includes multiple permissions?

Any advice please?

Answer 1

It seems you can pass an array to givePermissionTo, so you could just do the following:

$permission1 = Permission::create(['name' => 'Create Client']);
$permission2 = Permission::create(['name' => 'View Invoice']);
$permission3 = Permission::create(['name' => 'Add Product']);

$role = Role::findById(1);
$role->givePermissionTo([$permission1, $permission2, $permission3]);

Answer 2

1. You can pass multiple permissions in array to givePermissionTo().

2. If you want to detach previously assigned permissions to the role, use syncPermissions()

3. Or you can even use laravel's sync method as Role has morphToMany relation with Permissions. so $role->permissions()->sync($permissions); also work
