schema builder laravel migrations unique on two columns

Question

How can I set a unique constraints on two columns?

class MyModel extends Migration {
  public function up()
  {
    Schema::create(\'storage_trackers\', fun         


        

Answer 1

The second param is to manually set the name of the unique index. Use an array as the first param to create a unique key across multiple columns.

$table->unique(array('mytext', 'user_id'));

or (a little neater)

$table->unique(['mytext', 'user_id']);
