I am use PHP with Laravel framework.
In my front-end page, my table contains information for link, comment, date, number, toggle switch etc
Now for my back-end, I am adding columns into the table under migration folder.
I know how to add the type for my link($table->string('my_link');
), comment($table->text('my_comments');
), date($table->dateTime('my_date');
)number ( $table->decimal('my_number',20,3);
) etc
But I am not sure which type under https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/migrations should I choice for toggle switch and drop-dwon list data.
Is it reasonable if I use Boolean to save toggle switch data? For example $table->boolean('confirmed');
And is it reasonable if I use
$table->integer('my_drop_down_list')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('my_drop_down_list')->references('id')->on('users')->onUpdate('NO ACTION')->onDelete('NO ACTION');
to save drop-down list data?

Suppose you have a toggle button in your form like this.
<input type="checkbox" name="confirmed">
In your controller you will check if toggle button is on
or Off
.
$confirmed = $request->confirmed? 1:0; // 1 if toggle on 0 if off
$model->confirmed = $confirmed; // replace $model with name of your model
$model->save() or $model->update();
Note : Update variables according to your code.

I think you should do this into your table:
country_id
field is big integer - foreign key in the table.
confirmed
field is enum datatype in the table.
Schema::create('states', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->unsignedBigInteger('country_id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->enum('confirmed',['0','1'])->default('0');
$table->foreign('country_id')->references('id')->on('countries')->onDelete('cascade');
});
