When I drop a column, I use following command to create migration file,
php artisan make:migration drop_institue_id_column_from_providers
And migration file:
public function up()
{
Schema::table('providers', function(Blueprint $table) {
$table->dropColumn('institue_id');
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::table('providers', function (Blueprint $table)
{
$table->integer('institue_id')->unsigned();
});
}
If I want to drop multiple columns, I can write migration file this way,
public function up()
{
Schema::table('providers', function(Blueprint $table) {
$table->dropColumn('institue_id');
$table->dropColumn('institue_name');
$table->dropColumn('institue_address');
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::table('providers', function (Blueprint $table)
{
$table->integer('institue_id')->unsigned();
$table->char('institue_name');
$table->char('institue_address');
});
}
But What is the command to create that migration file? Thank you.
I assume this is just a question about naming convention for the migration class.
If so then it does not matter what the file\class is called, as long as it gives you a good idea of what it does.
So it could be something like:
php artisan make:migration drop_institue_columns_from_providers
