How to check values before update in Eloquent?

When using updating via Eloquent it returns affected rows as a result. Is it possible somehow to get status of update? For example if I passing some bad id in WHERE it still return 0 affected rows, though here I need to know that this id does not exist. Basically when the user clicks a save button, but nothing edit - I get 0 affected rows from Eloquent and also when bad id is entered. I need to somehow separate this things.

You could check first if the WHERE returns anything:

if(Model::where($where)->count() > 0){
    // row(s) found > do update
}
else {
    // where doesn't match any rows
}
