Customize primary key field in migration - Laravel 5.3

Question

In migration, if we want to add a primary key on table, we use

$table->increments('id');

This will create an id field with int(10)

But I don't found any way to customize the primary key. Like what if I want primary key with string type or int with size 5 etc...

BTW, I want the primary key of tiny type. How can I achieve that using migration?

Thanks, Parth Vora

You can customize Primary Key by using primary method as:

$table->tinyInteger('pk');

$table->primary('pk');
