Laravel 5.8 And The BigInt Problem
----------------------------------

[](#laravel-58-and-the-bigint-problem)

As of [Laravel 5.8](https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/26472), migration stubs use the `bigIncrements` method on ID columns by default. Previously, ID columns were created using the increments method.

Foreign key columns must be of the same type. Therefore, a column created using the increments method can not reference a column created using the bigIncrements method.

This small change is a big [source of problems](https://laraveldaily.com/be-careful-laravel-5-8-added-bigincrements-as-defaults/)for **packages** that define references to the **default Laravel user table**.

This package helps to solve this problem by extending Laravel's `Blueprint` class by a method that can detect the actual referenced field type:

```
class CreateProfilesTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('profiles', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');

            // Make `user_id` field the same type as the `id` field of the `user` table:
            $table->intOrBigIntBasedOnRelated('user_id', Schema::connection(null), 'users.id');

            //...

            $table->foreign('user_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('users');
        });
    }
//...
```
