Laravel data fill, how to optimize this code?

encountered problems with data padding, which was previously populated with random data, using laravel model factory and Faker\ Generator to generate random data. It"s very convenient. But I want to fill in some data provided by me instead of random data when the program is initialized.

suppose: the data I provide is $name . I have two tables, categories and navigations . There is an association between the two tables, and navigations.category_id corresponds to categories.id . My idea is shown in the code, although I can successfully write the data, but it doesn"t feel good, thanks to the bosses for their ideas.

the code is as follows:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

class CategoryTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    protected $name = [
        "php"      => [
            [
                "name"     => "php1",
                "describe" => "php1",
                "icon"     => "php1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "php1",
                "describe" => "php1",
                "icon"     => "php1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "php1",
                "describe" => "php1",
                "icon"     => "php1"
            ],
        ], "mysql" => [
            [
                "name"     => "mysql1",
                "describe" => "mysql1",
                "icon"     => "mysql1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "mysql1",
                "describe" => "mysql1",
                "icon"     => "mysql1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "mysql1",
                "describe" => "mysql1",
                "icon"     => "mysql1"
            ],
        ], "vue"   => [
            [
                "name"     => "vue1",
                "describe" => "vue1",
                "icon"     => "vue1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "vue1",
                "describe" => "vue1",
                "icon"     => "vue1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "vue1",
                "describe" => "vue1",
                "icon"     => "vue1"
            ], [
                "name"     => "vue1",
                "describe" => "vue1",

                "describe" => "vue1",
                "icon"     => "vue1"
            ],
        ],
    ];

    /**

    public function run ()
    {
        foreach ($this->name as $key => $value) {

                "type"       => "1",

                ]);
            }
        }

    }

suppose you have defined the model association:

collect($this->name)->map(function () {$item, $category} {
    $categoryModel = Category::create($category);
    // 
    $categoryModel->navigations()->createMany($item);
});
