Creating a Migration for Tasks
- Migration Creation: We use Artisan to create a migration file for the
tasks table. Migrations allow us to define the structure of the database in PHP code, making it easy to version control database changes.
- Schema Definition: In the migration file, we define the schema for the
tasks table, which includes:
id: An auto-incrementing primary key.title: A string to store the task title.description: A nullable text field for additional details.completed: A boolean to track if the task is finished (defaulting to false).timestamps: Automatically managed fields for created and updated times.
- Running the Migration: By running
php artisan migrate, we apply this migration, creating the tasks table in the database.
