php - Laravel Migrations - Dropping columns -

i need drop column userdomainname database table clients.

at first installed doctrine/dbal executing composer require doctrine/dbal followed composer update, described in documentation.

then created migration want use drop column:

php artisan make:migration remove_user_domain_name_from_clients --table=clients 

i added schema::dropcolumn('userdomainname'); down() method:

<?php  use illuminate\support\facades\schema; use illuminate\database\schema\blueprint; use illuminate\database\migrations\migration;  class removedomainname extends migration {     /**      * run migrations.      *      * @return void      */     public function up()     {         schema::table('clients', function (blueprint $table) {             //         });     }      /**      * reverse migrations.      *      * @return void      */     public function down()     {         schema::table('clients', function (blueprint $table) {             schema::dropcolumn('userdomainname');         });     } } 

however,

migrating: 2017_08_22_135145_remove_user_domain_name_from_clients migrated:  2017_08_22_135145_remove_user_domain_name_from_clients 

after executing php artisan migrate no column dropped. if execute again nothing migrate.

the down function used rollbacks, have add dropcolumn in up function because action want perform when running migrations.

so, in up function there should be:

schema::table('clients', function (blueprint $table) {     $table->dropcolumn('userdomainname'); }); 

and in down function should inverse, add column back:

schema::table('clients', function (blueprint $table) {     $table->string('userdomainname'); }); 

this way, can return point in migrations.
