Make sure that the page doesn't exist, before saving.

How to do that with laravel Eloquent ?

Do you really need to have page_id as unique? Isn't the primary key enough? Or is page_id primary?

Table pages column id is primary page_id should be unique because i dont need to have the same page_id's twice...

Tables:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `username` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `password` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `remember_token` varchar(64) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

CREATE TABLE `pages` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `page_id` bigint(15) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `user_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `token` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `isActive` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `page_id` (`page_id`),
  KEY `pages_user_id_index` (`user_id`),
  CONSTRAINT `pages_user_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `users` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=37 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

The problem is that i can insert page_id twice if page_id is 5 i can isert in 2 times with page_id 5
