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

First run this:

composer require doctrine/dbal

Then create a migration that will alter the table like so:

php artisan make:migration fix_whatever_table_name_here

public function up()
{
    Schema::table('table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->type('column')->nullable(false)->change();
    });
}

# public function down()
# {
#     Schema::table('table_name', function ($table) {
#         $table->dropColumn('column');
#     });
# }
