How To Add New Column To Existing Table In Laravel Using Migration

Step 1: Run the following command to create a migration file.

        php artisan make:migration alter_users_table

        (here users is the existing table name)

Step 2: Now check your application. 1 migration file is created in path database/migrations.       

        The file name is like : 2018_09_10_102106_alter_users_table

        Here we will add 1 'user_type' field to users table. 

        Open that migration file and write the following in up() function.        

         Schema::table('users', function($table) {

           $table->string('user_type');

        });         

Step 3: now run the following command & check your table. user_type field is added to your table.
             php artisan migrate
