Laravel Eloquent - bulk update with whereIn array - php

Question

I'm working on a project where I need to update many rows at once per coin Id.
in order to update all coins values, Im getting them all from the API, so for example I have back:
$coinsList= [[id="bitcoin", symbol="btc", name="Bintcoin"],[id="etherium", symbol="eth", name="Etherium"]];
and the database table columns is the following:
**| id | coin_id | symbol | name |**
now, I want to update all values to the database, according to the id only, so this is what I did:
// first get ids from my table
$exist_ids = Coinlist::all('coin_id')->pluck('coin_id')->toArray();
//get all ids to update (to ignore other ids):
$updatable_ids = array_values(array_intersect($exist_ids, $allCoinIds));//result for example is: array("bitcoin","etherium");
//and now, update the database:
Coinlist::whereIn('coin_id', $updatable_ids)
->update([
'symbol' => $coinsList[$key]['symbol'],
'name' => $coinsList[$key]['name'],
'updated_at' => now()
]);
the problem is, I don't have the "$key" in order to update the right row, what am I missing here?
Thanks!

Here is a good way to solve it:
in the beginning, I used this library: https://github.com/mavinoo/laravelBatch
to update many dynamic rows, but it was really slow, then thanks to Yasin, I moved to: https://github.com/iksaku/laravel-mass-update and now it works way better.
the implementation is simple, add a simple code to the Model class, then add:
User::massUpdate(
values: [
['username' => 'iksaku', 'name' => 'Jorge González'],
['username' => 'gm_mtz', 'name' => 'Gladys Martínez'],
],
uniqueBy: 'username'
);
while uniqueBy is the key for the row, and add other columns values to change them dynamically.
