Ways to declare unsigned columns in the Laravel migrations

Laravel developers love the way it handles relationships between tables by just associating models with each other.

The column which defines the relationship between tables must be of unsigned type.

In this tutorial, we'll see how we can declare columns as unsigned in different ways in Laravel.

You need to import Illuminate\Database\Schema namespace with use keyword.

Using unsignedInteger column types

  $table->unsignedInteger('user_id');

Using only integer column type

  $table->integer('user_id', false, true);

Using integer column type with unsigned column modifier

  $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
