If you make a migration for existing table, and you want Laravel to generate the Schema::table() for you, then add "_in_xxxxx_table" or "_to_xxxxx_table" at the end, or specify "--table" parameter.
php artisan change_fields_products_table
generates empty class
1class ChangeFieldsProductsTable extends Migration2{3 public function up()4 {5 //6 }7}
But add in_xxxxx_table
php artisan make:migration change_fields_in_products_table
and it generates class with Schema::table()
pre-filled
1class ChangeFieldsProductsTable extends Migration2{3 public function up()4 {5 Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {6 //7 })8 };9}
Also you can specify --table
parameter php artisan make:migration whatever_you_want --table=products
1class WhateverYouWant extends Migration2{3 public function up()4 {5 Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {6 //7 })8 };9}
