Implementations

impl ColumnDef

pub fn not_null(&mut self) -> &mut ColumnDef

pub fn nullable(&mut self) -> &mut ColumnDef

pub fn unique(&mut self) -> &mut ColumnDef

pub fn primary_key(&mut self) -> &mut ColumnDef

pub fn default(&mut self, value: impl Into<String>) -> &mut ColumnDef

Set the column default. String values that look like SQL string literals (no parens, not already quoted, not numeric, not a recognized keyword) are auto-quoted to avoid Postgres parsing them as column references. Use default_raw to bypass quoting entirely.

pub fn default_raw(&mut self, sql: impl Into<String>) -> &mut ColumnDef

Set the default to raw SQL — no quoting, no parsing. Use this when you need to pass a specific expression (a cast like '{}'::jsonb, a function reference like gen_random_uuid(), etc.) and don’t want the auto-quoting in default.

pub fn default_value<T>(&mut self, value: T) -> &mut ColumnDef

where T: Into<Value>,

pub fn comment(&mut self, _text: impl Into<String>) -> &mut ColumnDef

Add an inline column comment. Postgres stores this in COMMENT ON COLUMN.

pub fn use_current(&mut self) -> &mut ColumnDef

Alias for default — Laravel uses useCurrent() for timestamps.
