I need to create multiple tables with the same columns like both pens, pencil tables have the same columns. Is it possible to make the migration in a single function for multiple tables in laravel ?
pens
pencils
A migration is generic PHP code so you can do pretty much whatever you want in it. You're not even required to do anything to the database in a migration (though you probably should).
In your case something like below will work:
public function up() {
foreach (['pen', 'pencil'] as $tableName) {
Schema::create($tableName, function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('name');
$table->text('description');
// and so on
});
}
}
public function down() {
foreach (['pen', 'pencil'] as $tableName) {
Schema::dropIfExists($tableName);
}
}
