title: What is the best way to change a column type in Laravel migration?
body: <p>I have a User table in my DB:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        $table-&gt;increments('id');
          $table-&gt;string('fullName');
          $table-&gt;string('email')-&gt;unique();
          $table-&gt;string('password', 50);
          $table-&gt;enum('role',['boss','employee','customer'])-&gt;default('customer');
          $table-&gt;rememberToken();
          $table-&gt;timestamps();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to change 'role' column type  to 'text' and after that, run the new migration in Laravel. If I want to have no effect on previous data, what is the best way to do this.</p>
