You can create a macro and put it into your AppServiceProvider

Collection::macro('assertContains', function($value) {
    Assert::assertTrue(
         $this->contains($value)
    );
});

Collection::macro('assertNotContains', function($value) {
    Assert::assertFalse(
        $this->contains($value)
    );
});

To check if the collection is empty you can use the isEmpty method:

if( $users->isEmpty() )
  return "collection is empty";
else
  return "collection is not empty";

Use something like if ($users->count()) or if (count($users)).

->get() will always return a collection, you just need to verify whether it contains elements.

if ($users->count())
    return "ok";
else
    return "failed";
