Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
$table->string('name', 50)->change();
});
We could also modify a column to be nullable:
Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
$table->string('name', 50)->nullable()->change();
});
# nullableTimestamps()
## alias of the timestamps method
$table->nullableTimestamps(0);
# nullableMorphs()
## The method is similar to the morphs method
## however, the columns that are created will be "nullable":
$table->nullableMorphs('taggable');
# nullableUuidMorphs()
## The method is similar to the uuidMorphs method
## however, the columns that are created will be "nullable":
$table->nullableUuidMorphs('taggable');
# point()
## creates a POINT equivalent column:
$table->point('position');
# polygon()
## creates a POLYGON equivalent column:
$table->polygon('position');
# rememberToken()
## creates a nullable, VARCHAR(100) equivalent column
## that is intended to store the current "remember me" authentication token:
$table->rememberToken();
# set()
## creates a SET equivalent column with the given list of valid values:
$table->set('flavors', ['strawberry', 'vanilla']);
# smallIncrements()
## creates an auto-incrementing UNSIGNED SMALLINT
## equivalent column as a primary key:
$table->smallIncrements('id');
# smallInteger()
## creates a SMALLINT equivalent column:
$table->smallInteger('votes');
# softDeletesTz()
## adds a nullable deleted_at TIMESTAMP (with timezone) equivalent column
## with an optional precision (total digits).
## This column is intended to store the deleted_at timestamp
## needed for Eloquent's "soft delete" functionality:
$table->softDeletesTz($column = 'deleted_at', $precision = 0);
# softDeletes()
## adds a nullable deleted_at TIMESTAMP
## equivalent column with an optional precision (total digits).
## This column is intended to store the deleted_at timestamp
## needed for Eloquent's "soft delete" functionality:
$table->softDeletes($column = 'deleted_at', $precision = 0);
# string()
## creates a VARCHAR equivalent column of the given length:
$table->string('name', 100);
# text()
## creates a TEXT equivalent column:
$table->text('description');
# timeTz()
## creates a TIME (with timezone)
## equivalent column with an optional precision (total digits):
$table->timeTz('sunrise', $precision = 0);
# time()
## creates a TIME equivalent column with an optional precision (total digits):
$table->time('sunrise', $precision = 0);
# timestampTz()
## creates a TIMESTAMP (with timezone)
## equivalent column with an optional precision (total digits):
$table->timestampTz('added_at', $precision = 0);
# timestamp()
## creates a TIMESTAMP equivalent column
## with an optional precision (total digits):
$table->timestamp('added_at', $precision = 0);
# timestampsTz()
## creates created_at and updated_at TIMESTAMP
## (with timezone) equivalent columns with an optional precision (total digits):
$table->timestampsTz($precision = 0);
# timestamps()
## creates created_at and updated_at TIMESTAMP
## equivalent columns with an optional precision (total digits):
$table->timestamps($precision = 0);
# tinyIncrements()
## creates an auto-incrementing UNSIGNED TINYINT
## equivalent column as a primary key:
$table->tinyIncrements('id');
# tinyInteger()
## creates a TINYINT equivalent column:
$table->tinyInteger('votes');
# tinyText()
## creates a TINYTEXT equivalent column:
$table->tinyText('notes');
# unsignedBigInteger()
## creates an UNSIGNED BIGINT equivalent column:
$table->unsignedBigInteger('votes');
# unsignedDecimal()
## creates an UNSIGNED DECIMAL equivalent column with
## an optional precision (total digits)
## and scale (decimal digits):
$table->unsignedDecimal('amount', $precision = 8, $scale = 2);
# unsignedInteger()
## creates an UNSIGNED INTEGER equivalent column:
$table->unsignedInteger('votes');
# unsignedMediumInteger()
## creates an UNSIGNED MEDIUMINT equivalent column:
$table->unsignedMediumInteger('votes');
# unsignedSmallInteger()
## creates an UNSIGNED SMALLINT equivalent column:
$table->unsignedSmallInteger('votes');
# unsignedTinyInteger()
## creates an UNSIGNED TINYINT equivalent column:
$table->unsignedTinyInteger('votes');
# uuidMorphs()
## The uuidMorphs method is a convenience method that adds a
## {column}_id CHAR(36) equivalent column and a {column}_type
## VARCHAR equivalent column.
## This method is intended to be used when defining the columns necessary
## for a polymorphic Eloquent relationship that use UUID identifiers.
## In the following example, `taggable_id` and `taggable_type` columns would be created:
$table->uuidMorphs('taggable');
# uuid()
## creates a UUID equivalent column:
$table->uuid('id');
# year()
## creates a YEAR equivalent column:
$table->year('birth_year');
