Schema#

The database driver also has (limited) schema builder support. You can easily manipulate collections and set indexes:

Schema::create('users', function($collection)
{
    $collection->index('name');

    $collection->unique('email');
});

Supported operations are:

• create and drop
• collection
• hasCollection
• index and dropIndex (compound indexes supported as well)
• unique
• background, sparse, expire (MongoDB specific)

All other (unsupported) operations are implemented as dummy pass-through methods, because MongoDB does not use a predefined schema. Read more about the schema builder on http://laravel.com/docs/schema
