Detect if model is being created or updated inside a method

In my BaseModel which extends Eloquent I have the validate method.

My question is, how can I detect inside this method if the model is being created or updated?

I'm aware and I use the model events, but can't figure out how to achieve the same inside methods.

You could see if the attributes are already set in that model using getOriginal().

Depending on what you get, you can know if it's a new model or an existing one.

getOriginal() docs:

Laravel has a method called exists() to check whether a model is from database or not.

if Model created or updated, the following will return true.

$model->exists

update a model:

$affectedRows = User::where('votes', '>', 100)->update(array('status' => 2));

dd($affectedRows);
