- Open your command line or terminal.
- Navigate to your Rails application's root directory.
- Run the following command to generate a new migration file:
rails generate migration AddArrayDefaultValueToTableName array_column_name:string[]:default=>[]
In the above command, replaceAddArrayDefaultValueToTableName
with the desired migration name andarray_column_name
with the name of the column that should have an array default value. - Open the generated migration file, located in the
db/migrate
directory, using a text editor. - Inside the
change
method, add the following code to set the default value for the array column:change_column_default :table_name, :array_column_name, ['default_value_1', 'default_value_2']
Replacetable_name
with the name of the table that contains the array column andarray_column_name
with the name of the array column. Also, replace['default_value_1', 'default_value_2']
with the desired default values for the array column. - Save the migration file.
- Run the migration by executing the following command:

This command will apply the changes to the database schema.
