How to specify the default field value in Laravel migration, but write another one for existing values?

Question

Laravel

Good afternoon. We need to add a field to the table. Is it possible to somehow specify in the migration that the default value is false, but so that already existing records are set to true ?

Answer 1

Just right in the migration after creating the column with a separate query, update the value in the existing records.

Answer 2

In different migrations

$table->boolean('active')->default(true);
$table->boolean('active')->default(false)->change();
