Laravel include relationships with model after update

I'm using a role package which stores hasMany relational data in my database. So there is a users table and a user_roles table with foreign keys...etc...

I am updating the model using the following code:

    $user = User::findOrFail($id);
    $user->update(request()->all());
    $user->syncRoles(request()->input('roles', []));

Is there any way I can keep a reference of the roles on the $user variable so they can be used after these lines of code run?

I'm asking because I'm using a logging system after the fact like so:

    activity()->on($user)->by(auth()->user())->withProperties([
        'user' => $user,
        'roles' => request()->input('roles'),
    ])->log('Updated User');

Which I would like to condense to just:

    activity()->on($user)->by(auth()->user())->withProperties($user)->log('Updated User');

You will need to refresh the model data from the database. E.g.

$user = $user->fresh('roles');

Add the relationship in your User.php model :

public function roles(){
    return $this->hasMany(Role::class);
}

Now simply call it in your code to get the roles like so:

$aUser = User::with('roles')->find($id);
$roles = $aUser->roles;

For example using lazy loading:

$user = User::findOrFail($id);
$roles = $user->roles;

and on your User Model you would create a HasMany relationship to roles table.

Eager loading:

$user = User::with('roles')->findOrFail($id);
