Check if empty/null column exists in Laravel

Question

I want to check if a row of my Compagny table contains empty or null column, in order to display a message to invite the user to fill his compagny's profile.

Is there a clean and fast way to do that in laravel controller ? Or do I have to do

if(empty($compagny->columnName) || empty($compagny->columnName))
    //content displaying view and message here

And do this for each column in my table ?

Answer 1

Try this...

You can see that Eloquent returns a collection object - an object always passes an empty() check as True. Instead, do

if ( ! $compagny->isEmpty() )

Or even

if ( $compagny->count() )
