how can I create a migration to add a value to an enum in eloquent

Question

I have a table that contains an enum field

CREATE TABLE `user_status` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `values` enum(\'on\', \'off\'),
           


        

Answer 1

The second answer works, but in my case CHANGE was throwing an error. So i tried using MODIFY instead and that worked. Thanks guys..

Here is my code:

class ChangeJobTypeEnum extends Migration {

/**
 * Run the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function up()
{
    DB::statement("ALTER TABLE _TABLENAME_ MODIFY _COLUMNNAME_ ENUM('on', 'off', 'auto')");

}

/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function down()
{
    DB::statement("ALTER TABLE _TABLENAME_ MODIFY_COLUMNNAME_ ENUM('on', 'off')");

}
}
