Make column not nullable in a Laravel migration

Question

I\'m writing a migration to make certain columns in a table nullable right now. For the down function, I of course want to make those columns not nullable

Answer 1

Prior to Laravel 5 there was no Laravel native way of altering an existing table column using the schema builder. You'd need to use raw queries for this.

However, as of Laravel 5 you can use:

$table->...->nullable(false)->change();
