这取决于您是想在之后使用用户，还是只检查是否存在一个用户。

如果用户对象存在，你想使用它:

$user = User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->first();
if ($user === null) {
   // user doesn't exist
}

如果你只是想检查一下

if (User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->count() > 0) {
   // user found
}

或者更好

if (User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->exists()) {
   // user found
}

if (User::where('email', Input::get('email'))->exists()) {
    // exists
}

在if语句中检查null可以防止Laravel在查询结束后立即返回404。

if ( User::find( $userId ) === null ) {

    return "user does not exist";
}
else {
    $user = User::find( $userId );

    return $user;
}

如果找到用户，它似乎会运行双重查询，但我似乎找不到任何其他可靠的解决方案。

$email = User::find($request->email);
If($email->count()>0)
<h1>Email exist, please make new email address</h1>
endif

如果你想插入一个唯一的记录，你可以使用laravel验证:

$validated = $request->validate([
    'title' => 'required|unique:usersTable,emailAddress|max:255',
]);

但是你也可以用这些方法:

1:

if (User::where('email',  $request->email)->exists())
{
  // object exists
} else {
  // object not found
}

2:

$user = User::where('email',  $request->email)->first();

if ($user)
{
  // object exists
} else {
  // object not found
}

3:

$user = User::where('email',  $request->email)->first();

if ($user->isNotEmpty())
{
  // object exists
} else {
  // object not found
}

4:

$user = User::where('email',  $request->email)->firstOrCreate([
      'email' => 'email'
],$request->all());

if ($u = User::where('email', '=', $value)->first())
{
   // do something with $u
   return 'exists';
} else {
  return 'nope';
}

可以用try/catch吗

->get()仍然返回一个空数组
