schema builder laravel migrations unique on two columns

Question

The second param is to manually set the name of the unique index. Use an array as the first param to create a unique key across multiple columns.

$table->unique(array('mytext', 'user_id'));

or (a little neater)

$table->unique(['mytext', 'user_id']);

Simply you can use

$table->primary(['first', 'second']);

Reference: http://laravel.com/docs/master/migrations#creating-indexes

As an example:

    Schema::create('posts_tags', function (Blueprint $table) {

        $table->integer('post_id')->unsigned();
        $table->integer('tag_id')->unsigned();

        $table->foreign('post_id')->references('id')->on('posts');
        $table->foreign('tag_id')->references('id')->on('tags');

        $table->primary(['post_id', 'tag_id']);
    });
