Can I change multiple column types in a single Laravel migration

1. Create a new migration:

   php artisan make:migration change_columns_in_tasks_table
   

2. Update the `up()` method:

php
   public function up()
   {
       Schema::table('tasks', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->text('description')->change();
           $table->integer('priority')->change();
           $table->dateTime('due_date')->change();
       });
   }
   

3. Update the `down()` method:

php
   public function down()
   {
       Schema::table('tasks', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->string('description', 255)->change();
           $table->tinyInteger('priority')->change();
           $table->date('due_date')->change();
       });
   }
   

4. Run the migration:

   php artisan migrate
   

The key points are:

- Use the `$table->change()` method to modify the existing columns.
- Specify the new data type in the column definition (e.g., `$table->text('description')`).
- Provide a `down()` method to revert the changes, if needed.
- Make sure to install the `doctrine/dbal` package before running the migration.

This approach allows you to change the data types of multiple columns in your database schema while preserving the existing data. Remember to thoroughly test your migrations before running them in a production environment.
