Dropping column with foreign key Laravel error: General error: 1025 Error on rename

Question

I\'ve created a table using migration like this:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create(\'despatch_discrepancies\',  function($table) {
        $table->         


        

Answer 1

I had multiple foreign keys in my table and then I had to remove foreign key constraints one by one by passing column name as index of the array in down method:

public function up()
{
    Schema::table('offices', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->unsignedInteger('country_id')->nullable();
        $table->foreign('country_id')
            ->references('id')
            ->on('countries')
            ->onDelete('cascade');

        $table->unsignedInteger('stateprovince_id')->nullable();
        $table->foreign('stateprovince_id')
            ->references('id')
            ->on('stateprovince')
            ->onDelete('cascade');
        $table->unsignedInteger('city_id')->nullable();
        $table->foreign('city_id')
            ->references('id')
            ->on('cities')
            ->onDelete('cascade');
    });
}

/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function down()
{
    Schema::table('offices', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->dropForeign(['country_id']);
        $table->dropForeign(['stateprovince_id']);
        $table->dropForeign(['city_id']);
        $table->dropColumn(['country_id','stateprovince_id','city_id']);
    });
} 

Using below statement does not work

$table->dropForeign(['country_id','stateprovince_id','city_id']); 

Because dropForeign does not consider them seperate columns that we want to remove. So we have to drop them one by one.
