    Hi.
    In such case I just use
    $user = User::findOrFail($id);
    $email = $user->email;

    or when we try to get user id by email we should validate request before

    ’email’ => ’email’, Rule::exists(‘users’, email)

    both methods will save us from unexistent users and we get right response as 404 not found

    • In fact if you are fine to use findOrFail you can do it like this:

      $email = User::findOrFail($id)->email;

      But not always you want to fail if model doesn’t exist. Sometimes you want to go further in such case.

    Hi,
    laravel optional helper is also useful for this case

    $email = optional(User::find($id))->email;

    it will return null if it couldn’t found user
