Adding a column to a model after the model is created

Question

When creating a model in Rails, I forgot to add a column "strong text" that I want. How can I add it to the model later?

`string` is superfluous there. – Sebastián Palma Jul 23 '19 at 09:13

Write a migration on console/terminal as follows:

rails g migration AddColumnToModel column_name:column_type

then run migration console/terminal as:

rake db:migrate
