Create Column after Another Column

Notice: Only MySQL

If you're adding a new column to the existing table, it doesn't necessarily have to become the last in the list. You can specify after which column it should be created:

1Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
2    $table->string('phone')->after('email');
3});

If you're adding a new column to the existing table, it doesn't necessarily have to become the last in the list. You can specify before which column it should be created:

1Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
2    $table->string('phone')->before('created_at');
3});

If you want your column to be the first in your table , then use the first method.

1Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
2    $table->string('uuid')->first();
3});

Also the after() method can now be used to add multiple fields.

1Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
2    $table->after('remember_token', function ($table){
3        $table->string('card_brand')->nullable();
4        $table->string('card_last_four', 4)->nullable();
5    });
6});
