Check for specific model was created or found

If you want to check for specific model was created or found, use wasRecentlyCreated model attribute.

1$user = User::create([
2    'name' => 'Oussama',
3]);
4 
5// return boolean
6return $user->wasRecentlyCreated;
7 
8// true for recently created
9// false for found (already on you db)
