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:

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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