Make migration for existing table

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

class ChangeFieldsProductsTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
//
}
}

But add in_xxxxx_table php artisan make:migration change_fields_in_products_table and it generates class with Schema::table() pre-filled

class ChangeFieldsProductsTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
//
})
};
}

Also you can specify --table parameter php artisan make:migration whatever_you_want --table=products

class WhateverYouWant extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
//
})
};
}
