Am new to laravel (total greenhorn), it would be awesome if anyone can help me with this.

Checking if data exists in child of a parent before creating new child.

I have a model called Family and another called Member. My relationship looks like below.

class Family extends Model
{
public function member()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Member');
}
}
And members

class Member extends Model
{
public function family()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Family');
}
}
I would like to check if in the current family if a member with the email from the input form exists or not. If exists returns error (a member with that email already existed in this family) else Creates the new member in that family. How would you suggest i do this?

what i have done but it's wrong though.

$member_mobile = Member::with('families')->where('mobile', '=', Input::get('mobile'))->first();
if(!$member_email || !$member_mobile){
$member = new Member();
$member->firstname = $request->firstname;
$member->lastname = $request->lastname;
$member->email = $request->email;
$member->mobile = $request->mobile;
$member->fid = $request->fid;
$member->family_id = $request->family_id;
$member->gender = $request->gender;
$member->role_id = $request->role_id;
$member->avatar = $avatar;
$member->save();
}

else{
return redirect()->back()->with('Error','Oops! Member email or mobile number exists already');
}




How do you think i should go about it .

@codeblooded

what you are trying to do is not clear

Do something like this:

$family = Family::find($family_id);

$member_mobile = $family->member->where('mobile', '=', Input::get('mobile'))->first();

if($member.....){}
else{...}

Omo! see boilerplate codings for (Php Laravel)...let me just stick to my procedural way of coding with core Php.. maybe in the future I go switch to the former.
