Add extra field in migration after creating table in Laravel 5.1

Add extra field in migration after creating table:

First time we create a table's migration & execute migration command. After this , we realize that we have to add a new field in database.

For this, we can modify table by this easy way.

Firstly run this command for create a new migration file.

php artisan make:migration add_email_in_users_details_table

It will create a new file in migration file. Write in its up() function the following lines.



        Schema::create('user_details', function ($table) {
            $table->string('email');
          });

and in down() function write the following lines:



Schema::create('user_details', function ($table) {
            $table->drop_column('email');
          });

Make sure you put the same table name which you want to edit.

Now run migration command for this file.

Thanks
