Best approach to inject data before Import

[deniscsz]

I'm working on a Cart Item importing feature. I'm able to import product + qty with success but now I want pass the user_id logged and other kind of data.

The CSV file:

product_id	qty
123	4
124	2

The Model's table:

product_id	qty	user_id	seller_id
123	4	3	987
124	2	3	889

Which is the best approach to inject data before Import like user_id and seller_id?

Right now I'm trying use the construct to pass data to my Import model like this:
Excel::import(new \App\Imports\CartItem(['user_id' => 3, 'seller_id' => [123 => 987, 124 => 889]]), $filepath);

Is there a "better" way to try do this?

Via the constructor is the correct way yes
