Foreign Key in Laravel 5.1 - NO Relationship - mysql

Question

Need Help guys! Whats wrong with my migrations, It's not creating a relationship between users table and posts table. Here's what I did:
migrate users table
create posts table
migrate posts table with foreign key
Users Migration:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('password', 60);
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::drop('users');
}
}
Posts Migration:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->string('title', 255);
$table->text('content');
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::drop('posts');
}
}

You need to add it in two step. Schema::create() is only used to create table.
To add relation you need to write it within Schema::table().
Try following :
In CreatePostsTable :
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->string('title', 255);
$table->text('content');
$table->timestamps();
});
Schema::table('posts', function($table) {
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
