How can I modify a migration in Laravel?

There are 2 ways to do this:

1. Run php artisan migrate:refresh. This will rollback all your migrations and migrate all your migrations. If you run this command, all the data inserted in your database will be lost.

2. Run php artisan make:migration enter_your_migration_name_here. Then insert this in your migration:

   $table->string('error_message')->nullable()->change();

   Then run php artisan migrate to make your table changes. (Take note that when you do this, you have require composer require doctrine/dbal in your composer)
