Laravel Inserting data into a multiple pivot table - eloquent

Question

I'm new in Laravel 9 but for my project I need to create a pivot table with multiple foreign keys. This is what the migration looks like.
public function up()
{
Schema::create('language_user', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->foreignId('language_id')->constrained()->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreignId('proficiency_id')->constrained()->default(1)->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreignId('motivation_id')->constrained()->default(1)->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreignId('lang_status_id')->constrained()->default(1)->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamps();
});
Now, i'm trying to insert the data from a Livewire component, so I tried to create a Model for the pivot table but it didn't work. Can you point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

I removed the default values from the migration, from some reason they weren't working. The I used this in the Livewire controller:
public function addLanguage(Language $language)
{
$user = auth()->user();
$data = $this->validate();
$language->id = $data['language'];
//create user language record
$language->users()->attach($user->id, ['proficiency_id' => 1 , 'motivation_id' => 1, 'lang_status_id' => 1]);
//message
//redirect
return redirect(route('dashboard'));
}
And this worked. I hope this can help someone else.
