What is the meaning of nullable() in Laraval migration? For example, this is in our migration:

$table->string('middle_name')->nullable();

CodePudding user response：

It will make the column nullable in the database which means you can store null values to that column or also can be said that it is not a mandatory field in database

CodePudding user response：

It means the middle_name field can also store null values: as in inserting a value is not required.

Imagine a registration form for example. Not everybody has a middle name. So in that case they would leave the middle_name field empty and in the database it'll be null.
