This PR adds the column modifier
useCurrentOnUpdate()
to set the current timestamp to a column when a record is updated.Usage
This functionality is only supported by MySQL whereas other DBMS require a trigger.
Optional feature
We may also think of updating the
Blueprint::timestamps()
method to set timestamps automatically, useful for example when we insert/update records via query builder and not through Eloquent:Please let me know what are your thoughts and I'll add it to the PR if it may be useful in your opinion.
If the PR gets merged, I'll make sure to update the docs as well.
