Huh? You mean that Laravel does not support floating point columns? ------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#huh-you-mean-that-laravel-does-not-support-floating-point-columns) Sadly no. It only supports *double-precision* floating point columns. If you want *single-precision* floating point, you need to use `DB::raw()`. This is despite the Laravel documentation at which states: > `$table->float('amount', 8, 2);` FLOAT equivalent column with a precision (total digits) and scale (decimal digits). > `$table->double('amount', 8, 2);` DOUBLE equivalent column with a precision (total digits) and scale (decimal digits). You can read all about it at [laravel/framework#3151](https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/3151)and many other issues. In your migrationLaravel 5.0 - 7.0With this package`$table->float('col');``DOUBLE(8,2)``FLOAT``$table->float('col', 0);``DOUBLE``FLOAT``$table->float('col', 5);``DOUBLE(5,2)``FLOAT``$table->float('col', 5, 3);``DOUBLE(5,3)``FLOAT(5,3)``$table->double('col');``DOUBLE``DOUBLE``$table->double('col', 0);``DOUBLE``DOUBLE``$table->double('col', 5);``DOUBLE``DOUBLE``$table->double('col', 5, 3);``DOUBLE(5,3)``DOUBLE(5,3)`Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require fisharebest/laravel-floats ``` Package discovery takes care of everything on Laravel 5.5 and later. If you're using Laravel 5.4 or earlier, you'll need to replace an alias in `config/app.php`. ``` 'aliases' => [ ... 'Schema' => \Fisharebest\LaravelFloats\Schema::class, .... ] ``` NOTE: this assumes you are using Laravel to autoload your facades using the aliases. If you explicitly import Laravel's schema builder using `use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;` then you will need to change this to `use Fisharebest\LaravelFloats\Schema;`. How does this package work? --------------------------- [](#how-does-this-package-work) We extend the MySQL Grammar, modify the blueprint for `float()`, and then bind the updated grammar back into the IoC container. ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance16 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity29 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 92.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
