Compare with:

inverse_of(command, args, &block)

Returns the inverse of the given command. For example:

recorder.inverse_of(:rename_table, [:old, :new])
# => [:rename_table, [:new, :old]]

If the inverse of a command requires several commands, returns array of commands.

recorder.inverse_of(:remove_columns, [:some_table, :foo, :bar, type: :string])
# => [[:add_column, :some_table, :foo, :string], [:add_column, :some_table, :bar, :string]]

This method will raise an IrreversibleMigration exception if it cannot invert the command.

Parameters

command req
args req
block block

          This migration uses #{command}, which is not automatically reversible.
          To make the migration reversible you can either:
          1. Define #up and #down methods in place of the #change method.
          2. Use the #reversible method to define reversible behavior.
