Checking For Table / Column Existence

You may check for the existence of a table or column using the hasTable and hasColumn methods:

if (Schema::hasTable('users')) {
// The "users" table exists...
}
 
if (Schema::hasColumn('users', 'email')) {
// The "users" table exists and has an "email" column...
}
