这将检查表中是否存在特定的电子邮件地址:

if (isset(User::where('email', Input::get('email'))->value('email')))
{
    // Input::get('email') exist in the table 
}

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
}

if (User::where('email', 'user@email.com')->first()) {
    // It exists
} else {
    // It does not exist
}

如果只需要检查是否存在，请使用first()，而不要使用count()。

First()更快，因为它检查单个匹配，而count()计数所有匹配。

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.');
        }

    }

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());

最短工作选项:

// if you need to do something with the user 
if ($user = User::whereEmail(Input::get('email'))->first()) {

    // ...

}

// otherwise
$userExists = User::whereEmail(Input::get('email'))->exists();
