What's the down method for foreignIdFor()?

Question

If I run this in my migration up method, what do I put in the down method?

$table->foreignIdFor(MyClass::class)->nullable()->constrained();

Thanks!

The down method should contain whatever is needed to undo whatever the up method did. — ryantxr, Commented Nov 18, 2022 at 6:46

In the down method you should drop the foreign key:

$table->dropForeign(['column_name']);
$table->dropColumn(['column_name']);

Thanks! And what about the index and the actual column? I need 3 different actions?

You are right, the column should also be dropped. Edited my answer. You actually need only two actions - first to drop the foreign index, and then to drop the column itself.
