Example
If you want to automatically throw an exception when searching for a record that isn't found on a modal, you can use either
Vehicle::findOrFail(1);
or
Vehicle::where('make', 'ford')->firstOrFail();
If a record with the primary key of 1 is not found, a ModelNotFoundException is thrown. Which is essentially the same as writing (view source):
$vehicle = Vehicle::find($id);
if (!$vehicle) {
abort(404);
}
