Method to set the default value for current timestamp

You can use useCurrent() method for your custom timestamp column to store the current timestamp as a default value.

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->timestamp('added_at')->useCurrent();
$table->timestamps();
});
