Laravel's sync() analog in Yii

[akireikin]

I have 2 AR models: User and Role connected via junction table. I need to ensure that only certain Role models attached to User model. IDs of roles are given.

In Laravel I can write:

$ids = [1, 2, 3];
$user->roles()->sync($ids);

Now, in Yii I do the same thing this way:

$ids = [1, 2, 3];
$user->unlinkAll('role', true);
$roles = Role::find()->where(['id' => $ids)->all();
foreach ($roles as $role) {
    $user->link('role', $role);
}

Is it possible to sync links between models without unnecessary creation of Role entities and deleting all previous connections?

$user->link('role', $roles);

how does this work? current implemenetation does not support setting multiple models.

@cebe, you are right, there is a loop. I updated the issue.
