Sidenotes

Be sure to cast emails to an array in your eloquent model.

public $casts = [
    'emails' => 'array'
];

Don't want to store the array?

Use the array as a temporary variable

• make an observer
• handle the array manually.
• unset the array to avoid sql error

function saving($user)
{
    foreach($user->emails as $email)
    {
        //
    }
    
    unset($user->emails);
}
