You can create each feature inside the for loop.
public function featuredProduct(Request $request)
{
if($request->isMethod('POST')) {
foreach($request->all() as $productId) {
Featured::create([
'product_id' => $productId,
... other data fields.
]);
}
}
}
Or if you want to save all the features at once.
public function featuredProduct(Request $request)
{
if($request->isMethod('POST')) {
$featureds = [];
foreach($request->all() as $productId) {
$featureds[] = [
'product_id' => $productId,
... other data fields.
]
}
DB::table('featureds')->insert($featureds);
}
}
