要知道是否有记录是很简单的

$user = User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->get();
if(count($user) > 0)
{
echo "There is data";
}
else
echo "No data";

if($user->isEmpty()){
    // has no records
}

Eloquent使用集合。 参见以下链接:https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/eloquent-collections

创建下面的方法(为自己)，以检查给定的记录id是否存在于Db表中。

private function isModelRecordExist($model, $recordId)
{
    if (!$recordId) return false;

    $count = $model->where(['id' => $recordId])->count();

    return $count ? true : false;
}

// To Test
$recordId = 5;
$status = $this->isModelRecordExist( (new MyTestModel()), $recordId);

有帮助!

Laravel 6或顶部:写表名，然后给出where子句条件，例如where('id'， $request->id)

 public function store(Request $request)
    {

        $target = DB:: table('categories')
                ->where('title', $request->name)
                ->get()->first();
        if ($target === null) { // do what ever you need to do
            $cat = new Category();
            $cat->title = $request->input('name');
            $cat->parent_id = $request->input('parent_id');
            $cat->user_id=auth()->user()->id;
            $cat->save();
            return redirect(route('cats.app'))->with('success', 'App created successfully.');

        }else{ // match found 
            return redirect(route('cats.app'))->with('error', 'App already exists.');
        }

    }

最好的解决方案之一是使用firstOrNew或firstOrCreate方法。文档中有更多关于这两者的详细信息。

这将检查用户表中是否存在所请求的电子邮件:

if (User::where('email', $request->email)->exists()) {
   //email exists in user table
}
