Laravel schema default current timestamp value example

Some days ago, i was working my laravel 5.4 application and i require to create new migration with create_at column only, update_at was no more require. So i decided to set default current timestamp value to created_at column.

But i was thing how is it possible to set default current timestamp to created_at column using laravel schema. i started to read docs and i found useCurrent() of schema builder. So we can simply use as following syntax and example.

Syntax:

$table->timestamp('column_name')->useCurrent();

Example:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateProductTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('slug');
            $table->text('details');
            $table->timestamp('created_at')->useCurrent();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::drop("products");
    }
}

As above example, you can see how is it possible.

I hope you found your best solution...
